2. NEW FACULTY WORKSHOP
AAPT will sponsor the New Physics & Astronomy Faculty Workshop November 8

This year's program will be expanded to include content specially aimed at
those teaching astronomy.
Your department chair can nominate you if you are in the first few years
of your initial tenure-track appointment. Nominations can be emailed to
Kenneth Krane (kranek@physics.orst.edu) or to Maria Elena Khoury
