ASR News & Announcements

Rachel Kraus, Executive Officer

Typically, around this time of year, our News and Announcements would include highlights from our Annual Meeting.  Unfortunately, we are all aware that Covid-19 has led the ASR Council to cancel our 2020 Annual Meeting.  The ASR Council recognizes that not having a conference this year may be very disappointing.  Every year, we look forward to intellectually stimulating research and conversation, sharing teaching experiences, and navigating grant opportunities.  The ASR Council will begin preparations for our 2021 Annual Meeting in the coming weeks.  Our Chicago hotel is conveniently located on the Magnificent Mile between the ASA hotel and the heart of Chicago.

Congratulations, again, to the winners of ASR’s 2020 election.  Gerardo Marti will serve […]
