Lifelong Library Emeriti Program Opportunity

The staff of MSU Libraries invites you to join us this summer for a hands-on seminar especially designed for emeritus faculty to expand their Web information skills and searching savvy. Learn more about finding what you want and evaluating what you find online—whether it’s for academic purposes or personal enrichment—while discovering the many “value-added” resources and services only available to you through the MSU Libraries.

Please sign up for one* of the following introductory sessions:

Monday, June 22 2-4 p.m. Main Library, Beaumont Instruction Room

Tuesday, July 21 10-12 a.m. Main Library, Beaumont Instruction Room

Thursday, August 13 2-4 p.m. Main Library, Beaumont Instruction Room

Classes are limited to a maximum of 24 persons, so those interested are asked to call Alana Miller at the Libraries’ Development offices (517-884-6445) to reserve a place in their desired session. Limited capacity in the Beaumont learning laboratory will require first-come, first-served seating. Please be prepared to share with Alana your university affiliation(s) and any specific online information interests you’d like us to consider including in the presentation.

Always a challenge, parking availability should be less problematic during these summer months.

Thank you!

*Individual consultations may be scheduled for those emeriti faculty members who are unable to attend one of the above sessions or wish to follow up on the introductory content of the formal sessions. Please ask Alana Miller at the Libraries’ Development offices (517-884-6445) for more information about consulting with a librarian.

Misson:
The mission of the MSU Faculty Emeriti Association is to promote, facilitate and sponsor activities that enable faculty emeriti to be actively engaged with the University and the community and to share their lifetime of experience and expertise.

Origin:
The Office of Faculty and Organizational Development has launched a new initiative to provide opportunities for MSU faculty emeriti to share their expertise with the MSU community. Growing out of a recent initiative by faculty emeriti and academic administrators in the College of Social Science, MSU leaders are now exploring institution-wide opportunities to connect the interests and expertise of faculty emeriti from all MSU colleges with University needs for an ongoing collaboration that is mutually valued and enriching. This group complements the activities of the MSU Retirees' Assocation.

This new initiative to provide opportunities for MSU faculty emeriti began with an Open Forum in November, 2004, attended by 110 faculty emeriti and current academic administrators.

The five goals for the Forum were:

To learn more about the needs and desires of faculty emeriti to continue to contribute by sharing their professional expertise and experience;
To hear from units on campus that already provide opportunities for Emeriti;
To hear from units that have needs for the expertise of faculty emeriti and are interested in developing new opportunities to collaborate with them;
To explore ways of connecting emeriti with available options, to identify expectations and parameters of voluntary engagement, and to develop mechanisms for communications and future planning efforts;
To provide opportunities immediately before and after the meeting for Emeriti to catch up with friends and colleagues in an informal setting with refreshments.

To build on the work of the Open Forum, a Steering Committee was formed to plan next steps for the MSU Faculty Emeriti Opportunities Program (now called MSU Faculty Emeriti Association). The Steering Committee is headed by Chair John Forsyth, Associate Professor Emeritus, and reports to Dr. Deborah DeZure, Assistant Provost for Faculty and Organizational Development. For a list of the Steering Committee members, click here.

Volunteer opportunities for faculty emeriti are posted on the websites of MSU Human Resources and the Office of Faculty and Organizational Development.

For those who were unable to attend the first Open Forum, there will be opportunities for involvement in the future. If you have questions, please contact John Forsyth, Steering Committee Chair at forsyth@msu.edu.
