As a graduate of the 2008 Minnesota Institute for Early Career Librarians (MIECL), I am excited to share that I’ll be returning to co-lead the 2026 Institute with Pamela Espinosa de los Monteros, and with support from past co-lead faculty Ione T. Damasco.
Scheduled for July 12 – 15, 2026, MIECL is an intensive four-day leadership and professional development opportunity that centers modeling and encouraging reflection and personal awareness of leadership skills in contemporary academic libraries and connected landscapes in higher education.
