Students: Amplifying Your Voices (SAYV)
is a student-led, student-focused place for students from San Jos茅 State University鈥檚 College of Information, Data and Society who are members of communities or hold identities that are marginalized and underrepresented in the fields of library science, data science, and information science. SAYV is the second iteration of its precursor, and is commited to empowering each other through community building, professional development and resource sharing.
SAYV seeks to create more student-dedicated spaces to build communities for underrepresented and intersectional identities to form connections, support peer and professional development, and share resources that meet student needs and support. These initiatives include:
- Community Learning Spaces: To facilitate interactions where students can freely exchange ideas or experiences with each other through Discord.
- Discord Server: To create and maintain a safe space for students of all backgrounds and identities to build community and connections.
- Podcast Series: 鈥淔rom the Fringes to the Foreground: Shining the Spotlight on Student Voices鈥� will share conversations and interviews with iSchool and ADS students from diverse backgrounds concerning their identities and the work they鈥檙e doing in their communities.
All iSchool and ADS students are welcome and encouraged to get involved with SAYV. .
