Save the Date

Save the date for the next NYU Publishing Alumni event, to be held on Tuesday, May 19th. Since this event is NYU-sponsored, the location (details to come) will be great and refreshments will be served.

We're still in the planning stages, so if you have any ideas for speakers and/or requests for certain topics, please let us know.

And for current students, NYU-sponsored events are limited to alumni only (due to space limitations), but we'll be scheduling a regular meetup for all NYU Publishing Association members probably sometime in June, and hope to see you then.

Good night,
Karina, Joanne, Ania, and Karen

Hello Fellow NYU-Pub Alumni!

I'm honored to be on the board and to be part of the outreach/get-together efforts for the publishing alumni/students of the MS program...

And, I'm happy to announce that we're now on Twitter! I'm working on completing our group's profile. Once that is done (hopefully, by end of today), I'll blog the URL (and will email it, as well) so that you'll be able to follow announcements, industry articles, and, of course, job postings.

Until next time,

Welcome to our new board member

Karen Livecchia has joined our board and we're sure her knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm will benefit future meetups/events and our group. If you don't already know Karen, she will be at the meetup on Monday so be sure to say hi.

Hope to see you all there and have a great weekend until then.

PS It's not too late to RSVP or to send round-robin ideas.

Revised Date for Next Meetup: 3/16

Please adjust your calendars since the next meetup will be on Monday 3/16 instead of 3/23, but will still be held at The Chill Lounge and begin at 6:30.

Thank you and hope to see you there,
Karina, Joanne, and Ania

Next Meetup: 3/23

We're having our next NYU Publishing meetup on 3/23 at The Chill Lounge, and hope to see you there (see details below). We decided to postpone having the NYU-sponsored event until we got a better sense of the kind of speaker you'd enjoy most, so besides our usual round-robin question, please come with suggestions for speakers as well.

And as always, if you have an inudstry-related question you'd like to pose to the group, either let me know ahead of time via e-mail, or just bring it to the event.

So save the date:

Monday 3/23
The Chill Lounge
329 Lexington Avenue @ 39th Street
6:30 p.m.

We'll be creating a Facebook event for you to rsvp to, so if you're on Facebook but not in the group, just ask us to join; if you're not on Facebook, just RSVP by responding to this e-mail.

And until then, stay warm.

Karina, Joanne, and Ania
