[Kristin Fontichiaro]

Hi, all --

The U-M School of Information is seeking projects for our students to sink
their teeth into! Please see note below from our Client Engagement Office
if you are interested!!

-------------
Hello UMSI community,

*The UMSI Engaged Learning Office is now accepting project ideas for Winter
2024 client-based courses and programs.
<https://www.si.umich.edu/host-student-project>* Our call for projects can
be found below. We welcome your project ideas, and we encourage you to
share this message broadly with your networks!

Would your organization benefit from student perspectives on an information
challenge that is central to your work? Are you interested in making a
positive impact on the next generation of information leaders? If so, the
University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI)
<https://www.si.umich.edu/> invites you to submit a project idea for a
client-based course or program.

*There is no cost to host a project.* In exchange for your time in
communicating with the team and your assistance in getting students what
they need to be successful, you will receive capacity-building deliverables
related to areas such as usability evaluation, preservation, web archiving,
librarianship, or digital curation.

graduate courses, which will take place in the Winter 2024 semester
