Welcome!
The Library and Information Studies Students' Association (LISSA) represents all students enrolled in the MLIS program at the University of Alberta. Students elect their own officers, with the presiding officer representing them at meetings of the School Council. LISSA acts as a liaison between students and faculty and facilitates student participation in a variety of academic, professional, and extracurricular activities.
Professional
From professional organization chapters to our annual PD day, LISSA assists students make the transition from university into professional life.
Social
We can't study all the time. LISSA organizes annual events like a SLISmas Party and St. Patrick's Day gathering. We also hold frequent games nights, and oversee the students' lounge.
