Dear Colleagues, I'm writing to share two updates from the Association of Research Libraries. For more information, contact Audrey Grace, JD, MEd, Director of Learning, who is copied on this email. ARL is currently accepting applications for the ARL Intensive Learning Program (ILP)<https://www.arl.org/category/our-priorities/learning-at-arl/intensive-learning-program/>. * The ILP is an eight-month hybrid experience that explores the operational aspects of senior-leader portfolios in research libraries and archives and the responsibilities related to managing those portfolios. It is for senior-level leaders within the first three years of their role; a limited amount of scholarship funds are available. * Applications are due Wednesday, November 13, 2024. * A recording of the ILP informational session is available on the ARL ILP website<https://www.arl.org/ilp-application/#section-application-timeline>. Registration is now open for the 2025 ARL President’s Institute: Ignite Collaboration: Thriving Multigenerational Libraries<https://events.arl.org/2025presidentinstitute>, February 12–13, 2025, in Chicago-Rosemont, Illinois. * The 2025 ARL President’s Institute will dive into the ways multigenerational perspectives and practices can boost a library’s inclusivity and effectiveness. This dynamic program will explore shared leadership practices, innovative strategies to bridge generational divides, and practical tools to promote cross-mentorship. Facilitators will create a space to connect, solve problems, and share best practices with fellow library leaders. Participants will leave with resources and a plan for how to bring multigenerational collaboration to their research libraries. * This event is open to all. * There is a scholarship available for current MLIS students (within 2 years of graduation). For more information and the scholarship application requirements, see https://www.arl.org/julia-c-blixrud-scholarship/.
