FROM THE FOUNDATION Message from New Chair As we welcome fall and the chang- ing seasons, the ASM Materials Educa- tion Foundation is changing seasons as well. After serving for three years as the ASM Foundation chair, Glenn Daehn is now graciously passing the torch tome. I am proud to take on this very import- ant role and look forward to continuing the growth of the Foundation. My enthusiasm comes from knowing that the ASM Foundation has the best tools in the box for reaching teach- ers and students, and for increasing the number of students choosing the materials field: makers, engineers, manag- ers, and educators. The Foundation is focusing efforts to increase participation in the ASM Materials Camps and associated year-round programs that benefit teachers and students. To learn more about the ASM Materials Education Foundation’s activities and mission, visit their website at asmfoundation.org . Without the dedication of our Master Teachers, vol- unteers, and staff, many students would not know what materials science and engineering is and how it is applied to our everyday world. Our Master Teachers offer knowledge, enthusiasm, and assistance to help teachers implement our content in their classrooms. And teachers continue to receive support throughout the school year. Teachers and students share their testimonies of how our programs changed their perspective about materials science, increased what they already knew, and opened the door to more opportunities in materials science and engineering. Many students have chosen their career paths because of the exposure to our Materials Camps. I am very excited to be the new Chair of the ASM Mate- rials Education Foundation during this critical time for the organization and look forward to working with everyone involved as we continue the path of hands-on, minds-on programs for teachers and students. We are exciting and cultivating the next generation workforce in the materials field. John “Chip” Keough, FASM Chair, ASM Materials Education Foundation Keough 2021 Recipients of the Kishor M.

Kulkarni Distin- guished High School Teacher Award recognizes the accom- plishments of one high school science teacher who has demonstrated a significant and sustained impact on pre- college age students.
