SLIG Announces Upcoming Courses

One of our favorite parts of the banquet at SLIG – or in this care, the virtual wrap-up event – is
the "Great Course Reveal;" As always, we offer some favorites and introduce some surprises.

3)  SLIG Academy for Professionals 2023

February 9 - April 20, 2023 (Now Always Virtual)

Offering professional development courses for those employed in the industry or preparing to seek employment in the industry, this program is now in its fifth year.

Originally designed to run in Salt Lake City the week following SLIG, the program moved to a virtual, multi-week format in 2021 due to the pandemic.

And that is where it will stay due to strongly-expressed preferences of both faculty and students. The curriculum demands and the format allows for more in-depth study and project work between sessions.

The following courses will be offered in 2023:

• DNA Dreamers in Action: Writing Proof Arguments, coordinated by Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG
• Fundamentals of Forensic Genealogy; Catherine B.W. Desmarais, CG

Preliminary descriptions are available at SLIGAcademy.ugagenealogy.org. Full details and weekly outlines will be published by May. Registration opens July 16, 2022, at 2:00 pm MDT.

4)  Mark Your Calendars

Make sure registration dates/times are on your calendar. Most courses will fill quickly (as often within seconds to minutes). Additional faculty, outlines, and registration procedures will be announced at a later date.

We hope to "see you" at SLIG this upcoming year!
