* Blog
ASIS&T is starting a new blog.  One of the foci of this blog will be on IS education.  Please consider contributing to this blog.  Entries can take many forms (i.e., a short opinion piece, commentary on current events, commentary on recent research) and can be of varying lengths (as short as a sentence and a link or as many as 1,000 words).  Please contact Cassidy Sugimoto, SIG ED Communications Officer, at csugimoto at unc.edu if you are interested in posting or receiving a user account. 

* Recruitment
Invite your students to join you at the SIG Ed planning meeting if they will attend the Annual Meeting.  This is the best way for new members to get involved in SIGs.

If you have suggestions or questions please email Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, SIG ED Chair, at hsiehyee at cua.edu or Please contact Cassidy Sugimoto, SIG ED Communications Officer, at csugimoto at unc.edu

We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!
