The University of Minnesota Libraries is pleased to offer the 11th biennial Minnesota Institute for Early Career Librarians from Traditionally Underrepresented Groups. The Institute focuses on the development of library leaders from diverse backgrounds who are in the first three years of their professional careers. Participants will develop specific leadership abilities proven to be critical for organizational success, including knowledge and skills for successful program leadership and collaboration. The Minnesota Institute has over 250 graduates to date, including a notable number of luminaries in librarianship.
Consultants Kathryn Deiss and DeEtta Jones will co-lead the Institute. They will be joined by Trevor Dawes (University of Delaware), Harriett Green (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and a number of University of Minnesota leaders.
