ARLIS/NA and The Visual Resources Association are pleased to announce the
appointment of a joint Summer Educational Institute (SEI) Long-Term
Planning Task Force. The Task Force will be co-chaired by Eileen Fry,
University of Indiana, and Amy Lucker, Harvard University. Other task
force members are: Hemalata Iyer, SUNY Albany; Trudy Jacoby, Princeton
University; Jeanne Keefe, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; and Martha
Mahard, Simmons College. This group, together with the presidents of VRA
and ARLIS/NA, will meet for the first time at the ARLIS/NA conference in
Banff in May 2006.
The SEI Long-Term Planning Task Force is charged with 1) establishing a
five-year strategic plan to develop the pedagogical goals for the SEI,
including the consideration of an advanced track to provide continuing
education for those who are seasoned professionals, the consideration of a
certification program, and the establishment of instructor qualifications;
and 2) exploring the long-term management, direction, and structure of the
SEI. As part of its charge, the SEI Long-Term Planning Task Force will
conduct an analysis of the educational needs of image
professionals. Consultation with the VRA Education Committee, the ARLIS/NA
Professional Development Committee, the investigators of the IMLS grant
studying the educational needs of image professionals, and other
appropriate professional groups is expected.
The SEI Long-Term Planning Task Force will report to the Boards of ARLIS/NA
and VRA, submitting an interim report by October 1, 2006, and final
recommendations to both Boards by March 1, 2007.
