The Carla B. Howery Teaching Enhancement Grant Program
Award Deadline February 1, 2012
Howery Teaching enhancement Grants can support an individual, a program, a department, or a committee of a state/regional association. ASA will generally award 2-4 grants, each up to 2,000. Funds can be used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to summer salary equipment software, travel, meetings, transcription of interviews and survey implementation. Principal criteria for the award are: the project advances the teaching and learning o sociology, serves as a seed project that will continue to have an impact over time, and will be systemic in its impact. The criteria are intentionally flexible in order to accommodate innovative proposals. ASA membership is not a criterion for application or selection for this grant; however, recipient(s) must be an ASA member by the time ASA grants the award. Applications from all sub-areas of the discipline are welcome
More details including proposal requirements can be found at http://www.asanet.org/funding/tef.cfm.

Autumn Chair's Announcements
Happy New (academic) Year! I hope this finds you well and smoothly transitioned into the new school year.
I am honored to be the chair of your ASA section on Teaching and Learning for 2011-12. I look forward to working with you to make the section the best it can possibly be.
I will send out an email around the beginning of each month with news and updates and at other times as needed. Here's what's news now.
1. 9/30 is the deadline at which time ASA uses the section membership to determine how many sessions we will have at the 2012 meeting in Denver. We are currently at 785 and we need to get to 800 to earn another session. We are very close!!! Talk to your colleagues who are not members or consider sponsoring a student.
2. Liz Grauerholz, chair-elect and program committee chair has developed an exciting slate of sessions for next year's meeting. Look for our sessions when the Call for Papers is released later this fall.
3. the section's day next year is day 1 (August 17). Please plan to join us.
Please feel free to contact me at my personal email address (chin@lemoyne.edu) with questions and comments. Thanks.
