After nearly three years since ASM Materials Camps were last in these locations, we need all hands on deck to recruit teachers to attend, refresh the labs to meet health and safety guidelines, as well as assess equipment and supply needs. Our staff is working with Mas- ter Teachers to be sure everyone is comfortable with return- ing to the lab for the full ASM Materials Camp curriculum. There is much to be done, but everyone is excited to return to programming that has received such great reviews from teachers and students. We would love your help too! Please help us connect with teachers or school dis- tricts in your area. If you’d like to volunteer at an ASM Materials Camp, please let us know where you are able to help. And, of course, our in-person ASMMaterials Camps are more expensive to run and offered at no charge to the teachers who attend. Your financial sup- port at asmfoundation.org will be greatly appreciated. As always, the ASM Foundation values its partnership with ASM chapters and members. Working together is the way the ASM Foundation will continue to grow its reach to more teachers and students. And it’s the way we will all engage the next generation in materials science and engi- neering. Thank you!

Revised Self-Study Course The ASM self-study course Principles of Metallography has been revised and updated by the International Metallo- graphic Society (IMS) and is now available on the ASM web- site. This course is intended to provide instruction in proper metallographic preparation techniques and the principles on which they are based. It describes methods of viewing structures and analyzing the constituents that are present. ASM self-study courses give learners the opportunity to study at their own pace in the location of their choice. Learn more by visiting https://bit.ly/3B6IjGl.
