A lovely Initiation Ceremony and Dessert Reception were hosted by the Beta Phi Mu Theta Chapter on May 17, 2017.
Guest Speaker Noreen Y. Whysel (SILS '14) gave a fantastic keynote speech, which she described below:
Dreams, Resilience and Making
a Difference
Our goal as we embark on our journey as Pratt SILS graduates is to make a
difference. Whether we leave Pratt to become a school librarian, a legal
librarian, a UX designer, or an archivist, we stand as a gateway between a
deluge of Information and the people we serve. Using an example of a proposed
9/11 geographic archive, Noreen Whysel explained how between our dreams and our
goal of making a difference is resilience.
