SPRING FORWARD

  

As March has finally sprung us forward this month, it's a great time to reflect on the winter season and also renew our thinking for summer. For those of you lucky enough to run winter programs in addition to summer, we invite you to participate in a winter session survey hosted by our colleagues at WVU. We also encourage everyone to take advantage of two great opportunities to share fresh ideas and submit a proposal to the Theresa Neil Research Award and NAASS National Conference.


 

Best of luck to those who are still have surviving brackets! 

 
Cheers,
Jess
