Our Newest Faculty Heroes


The School of Library & Information Management (SLIM) faculty responded to the national crisis by moving the face to face weekend, a core component of our hybrid program, online. Synchronous online activities during the designated class weekend intensive are being redesigned to deliver a quality learning experience despite not meeting face to face. 

Elizabeth Hoffman, the South Dakota Regional MLS Director, made a wonderful suggestion to utilize both the chat functionality and the breakout room function in Zoom to allow for small group learning activities. This functionality enables us to align our weekend activities “to ensure that they remain impactful, even with this change to a temporary online environment” (Dean Wooseob Jeong).  

I would say the SLIM faculty ought to be recognized for their efforts to provide valuable online learning during this uncertain time.  SLIM is an ESU hero!
