**This event will definitely be rescheduled so please stay tuned for that update.**
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at our May E2 Hour: Homecoming and the Archives: Varied Strategies for Successful Engagement and Collaboration on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 3pm Eastern/ 2pm Central/ 1pm Mountain/ 12pm Pacific / 11am Alaska/ 9am Hawaii.
Our speakers will be Meg Mason, University Archivist at Syracuse University Special Collections Research Center; Jessica Rogers-Cerrato, Special Collections Librarian and Archivist, Harvard Graduate School of Education; and Bryan Whitledge, Public Services Librarian, Central Michigan University. They will discuss the different ways they have participated and planned homecoming events on campus, leveraged the opportunities for future engagement with the archives, and balanced the time and energy for these types of programs. As always, we will welcome audience contribution to the discussion!

About the E2 Hour Series:
E2 is ecstatic to continue the E2 Hour series after a successful debut in 2023. The program is designed to help us build community with each other around topics of common interest and concern. The vibe for these gatherings is low-key, informal, and collegial-one where everyone is welcome and ideas and experiences circulate freely. Each E2 Hour will begin with a presentation on a specific theme or topic and will finish with an open-ended conversation among attendees.
If you are interested in presenting at a future E2 Hour or giving a tour of your exhibition or repository, contact Amy Schindler amycschindler@gmail.com or Gwyn Hervochon gwynhervochon@boisestate.edu to volunteer and discuss further.
