We hope that you are all in good health in these trying times.

Update on ASEEES Office and the 2020 Convention
The ASEEES main office staff at the University of Pittsburgh are now working remotely and available to assist you and respond to your queries. We do ask that you hold off sending any mail to our office for the time being. If you have recently sent a membership payment by mail, we will process them when we get our mail. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our membership coordinator at aseees at pitt.edu<mailto:aseees at pitt.edu>

Programming for the 2020 Annual Convention in November in Washington, DC, is on schedule, and we expect to send out acceptance notifications by no later than mid April. We are mindful of the contingencies as we move forward.

You can also upload your papers in the CORE Repository<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhcommons.org%2Fcore%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cca40a265e1804298a1f908d7ccff95f7%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C637203270405573067&sdata=OaZYsZDhIQO7tHvhqXS1dZ8OUN14oyScKocllaHof3A%3D&reserved=0>. The ASEEES Commons is part of the Humanities Commons, but we suggest that you use the Humanities Commons as the ASEEES Commons requires ASEEES membership to access.
We are also working to gather resources and information on teaching and research as the COVID-19 mitigation impacts the work of our members. We will post them as we gather the information. Meanwhile, this teaching resources site by the MLA may be of use to some of you: https://teachingresources.hcommons.org/<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteachingresources.hcommons.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cca40a265e1804298a1f908d7ccff95f7%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C637203270405573067&sdata=kUg7q6bjOrBqhAwW6iu2bIVBH3t6BSc%2FrOBCYxkl4lY%3D&reserved=0>
