The School of Information Management would like to congratulate all of our newest MLIS & MIM graduates! It was an eventful few days with a reception hosted by the Faculty of Management Monday night, followed by our breakfast and awards ceremony, and finally the convocation ceremony and reception on Tuesday. As was highlighted at the ceremony, our students are impressive, and it was wonderful to meet and celebrate your achievements with your friends and families.  We extend our best wishes to those graduates were not able to attend.

We encourage you to read these wonderful profiles about our grads Deborah Hemming (MLIS) and Ade Oyemade (MIM), produced by Nicole Maunsell in the Dean’s Office, Faculty of Management.

We welcome all our new graduates to the SIM alumni family, look forward to hearing about your successes and supporting you in your ongoing careers. Please continue to communicate with us via LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter (@dalsimnews), and our blog Inform.

Special thanks also to our Award sponsors including APLA, NSLA, SLA, the Vagianos and Harrison families and our alumni. And special congratulations to the 2017 convocation award winners (see full list below).

Well done, Class of 2017. We are very proud of all of you!
