    Hui Dui Launches Newsletter, The Hui Dui Bulletin

    Hui Dui has officially launched their first newsletter! This newsletter was created to keep everyone up to date by creating a space where information can be shared amongst the whole LIS student body. In the newsletter, you will find upcoming events and announcements from our LIS student organizations, announcements from our Program Coordinator, some fun jokes, and more!
    In collaboration with Hui Dui, this newsletter was created by LIS students Ashley Forester, Crystal Takata, and Hannah Pavao as part of our service learning project for LIS 650 Management of Libraries & Information Centers under Dr. Andrew Wertheimer. You can provide feedback on whether you enjoyed the newsletter and how they can improve for the future issues. Please fill out our feedback form here!
    Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Hui Dui at huidui@hawaii.edu.
    Hui Dui is the UHM LIS Program-wide student group, which represents LIS students at faculty and other committee meetings of LIS, and members of Hui Dui attend GSO meetings, and interact with the student chapter affiliates of national library organizations. Hui Dui also sponsors lecture series, graduation dinners, social events, course evaluations, and other activities.
