| First Day of March Fellowship Madness! |
|
Today is the first day of March, which means it's the first day of March Fellowship Madness! This is when we devote the month of March to supporting our students that have applied for fellowships to go into the field this summer. With the generous support of our endowed fellowships and the amount of money we raised so far, we can send 22 students to the field. Our goal is to support an additional 15 students but we'll need your help to do so! Read more... |

| ASOR Strategic Planning, 2016-2020 |
|
For the past five years (2011-2015), ASOR has been well guided by the Strategic Plan adopted by its Board of Trustees in April 2010. But ASOR is a constant work in progress, so there is always more to be done. A Strategic Planning Task Force, chaired by ASOR President Susan Ackerman and comprised of another ten dedicated ASOR members, has been hard at work developing an ASOR Strategic Plan for 2016-2020. We are pleased to share our penultimate draft of this plan, and we invite all of our members to read it and to provide us with your feedback. Read more... |
