SIMSA Fall Potluck!


Its that time of year again, that time where everyone brings a bunch of tupperware for us all to share. The food in the tupperware… not the tupperware itself. First take time to give thanks with your family (blood or otherwise) this weekend, and then come celebrate with us on Tuesday!

Come one come all to a lovely feast in the SIM common room on October 13th, 2015 at Noon until the food is cold or gone.

Here is a link to the google sign-up if you’d like to contribute to this delicious feast!

Please note if there are any allergens in your culinary creations, or if they are going to be particularly suited to any dietary restrictions.

SIMSA is pleased to welcome our new Executive Officers!

Incoming Student Representative: Hannah Steeves

Hannah SteevesHannah grew up in the Annapolis Valley, frolicking in apple orchards and rock hunting on the coast. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, then acquired her Bachelor of Education at St. Thomas University. She spent the next 2 years working in recruitment for UNB and as an autism support worker. She is very happy to be back in school and in NS, close to her family, the ocean, and academia. She has too many hobbies/interests to actually excel at any of them, but among them are fitness, music, Netflix, vodka, and food. Given that her interests are so broad, please strike up a conversation – you’ll probably have something in common!

Out-going Student Representative: Tamara Proulx

Tam Proulx

Tam Proulx is an outgoing year MLIS student from Ontario. She holds a Bachelors of Arts from the University of Toronto. When it comes to libraries, she is interested in censorship, special collections, cataloging and reader’s advisory. Outside of libraries, she is very fond of hanging out with friends, tea, music and food. She looks forward to representing her fellow outgoing years and working closely with SIMSA.
