School of Information Sciences: Partners Program

"The Partners Program is an excellent opportunity for students to gain real-world experience."

Richard J. Cox
LIS Program Chair and Professor

Partners Information

The success of the Partners Program is due in large part to the support of the Pittsburgh community organizations, businesses, and neighboring educational institutions who wish to participate in the University’s mission of a quality education for every student.  Through this Program, Partners offer graduate students in Library and Information Science employment opportunities that provide experience in their chosen field while the School of Information Sciences (SIS) provides a partial tuition scholarship. 

With every new Partner, our ability to support additional students is strengthened. We encourage you to consider becoming a Partner’s site and share in the benefits of educating SIS students. We serve as your first-step in recruitment by furnishing applicants per your needs who already have some related skills and/or background.  As the term of placement is three consecutive terms of study (fall, spring, and summer), any time spent acclimating the student to the position is advantageous due to the length of placement. 

If you wish to discuss the benefits of becoming a Partner, please contact JoAnn Kavalukas at ppartners@sis.pitt.edu or (412) 624-9420.
