Tony Nguyen, Associate University Librarian of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Libraries, was selected by the Association of Academic Health Sciences Library (AAHSL) to participate in the inaugural cohort of a year-long learning opportunity for new and interim health sciences library directors. This program will begin with a face-to-face session at the 2024 annual meeting in Atlanta. Three additional online sessions will be held in 2024-2025 with program completion by the 2025 annual meeting. The goals of the program are to introduce new and interim directors to concepts, issues, challenges, and solutions faced when entering new or interim academic health sciences library leadership roles; provide a supportive and safe space for challenging conversations and questions; develop a cohort of trusted colleagues experiencing similar situations; and build a solid and trusting relationship with AAHSL as a professional home for academic health sciences library leaders.
Congratulations on being selected for this wonderful professional development opportunity!
