The visiting lectureship brings together such qualified visitors and the appropriate organizations in India and pro- vides an honorarium for travel within India. This cooperative program of ASM and the Indian Institute of Materials (IIM) is intended to promote international cooperation and provide a useful service to ASM members.

FROM THE FOUNDATION Plans for Virtual Camps I want to express my great appre- ciation for the ASMMaterials Education Foundation staff, volunteers, master teachers, and everyone connected with the Materials Camp program for both teachers and students. The current COVID-19 crisis shows the importance of nations being able to produce what they need, including advanced fabrics for personal protec- tive equipment, ventilators, and medications. This self-re- liance starts with the talented people who can develop materials, optimize processes, and build the industries of today and tomorrow. Because of its scale and demonstrated impact, the ASM Materials Education Foundation’s Materials Camp for Teachers is arguably the most effective program available to engage the next generation in these important areas. Once it became clear that we needed to “go virtual,” everyone jumped into action and began to plan this sum- mer’s program. Not only will this be a great way to safely deliver content this summer, but the Foundation will also be piloting online curriculum and content that teachers will be able to learn from and teach with throughout the school year. Our team is also developing an opportunity for stu- dents to participate in an online version of the very hands-on student camp experience. Combining the enthusiasm of our Eisenman mentors with the experience of our master teach- ers will provide a unique opportunity for students to experi- ence from their own homes. The current situation only points out how critical the ASM Foundation’s mission is. We will not shy away from it in this difficult time, but will rise to it and help move us all forward. We ask that you please continue your support of this important mission. Thank you all. Glenn S.
