| Reminder to Vote for Individual and Institutional Trustees |
There is still time to vote for ASOR Individual and Institutional Trustees. An email was sent out last week with the invitation to vote. If you would like to instead receive a print ballot, please contact the ASOR office. We would also like to apologize for last week's email use of your member ID instead of your name! Hopefully that mistake won't happen again. If you haven't already voted, keep an eye out for an email reminder coming out next week.

| Two Harris Grants of $5,000 Each Available for ASOR-Affiliated Excavation Projects |
The Harris Endowment provides grants to worthy field projects that are ASOR-affiliated, particularly to newer and smaller projects, to help them get started; and to discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with an award. The Harris Endowment may also be used to provide support for off-season research, analysis, and publications. For 2016, ASOR plans to award two grants of $5,000 each. The awards will be made to the PI's of two ASOR-affliated projects. The application deadline is December 15, 2015 (please note the deadline is earlier than last year). We hope to announce the successful applications by January 15, 2016. Read more...
