You did hear correctly. LIS is picking up the tab for winter getaways – when your destination is a day-long computer workshop at KnowledgeWave in South Burlington, Vermont. Although not as exotic as basking on a Caribbean beach, you can immerse yourself in a distraction-free learning environment — without the worry of your bathing suit readiness. Need a longer “break”? — enjoy a 30% discount on multi-day sessions. Here are just a few upcoming classes to pique your interest – see go/kwavesched for the complete list of offerings:

Who can take advantage of this? LIS Staff? Faculty, Staff, Students?
Although primarily intended as a development opportunity for staff and faculty, LIS has sent a small number of students in years past. The day-long aspect of these courses is not ideal for student schedules but we will gladly consider requests on a case-by-case basis.
Great, thanks for clarifying, Pij!
