ASP
2011 Fall Appeal |
 |
One
of the key ways the ASP advances the cause of science literacy
is by providing professional development training and resources
for those engaging in astronomy and space science education
and public outreach. The ASP is at the intersection of multiple
networks, such as amateur astronomers, scientists, and formal
and informal educators. Consider making
a gift today to support these ASP networks, publications and science education. We invite
you to read the 2011 Fall Appeal letter from ASP Executive Director James Manning. |

The ASP Receives a Challenge Grant for Upgrading its Information Technology Systems |
|
Thank you for Joining the IT Challenge!
With your generous support,we have made our goal.
Your support strengthens the
Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP).
As you may recall a generous supporter gave a
Challenge Grant to upgrade the IT infrastructure within ASP.
And this means every dollar you gave
to help ASP become more efficient
was matched dollar for dollar.
This special campaign will now help
ASP's operations become more effective.
The funds raised will now be used to replace
aging computers and improve
the efficiency of administrative operations.
The campaign goal was $55,000.
Thank you, once again, for your
generous donation to this important project! |

Conference
Series Publication: Providing Resources Internationally |
|
Since
1988, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) has published
the renowned Conference Series as part of its century-old
mission to provide resources for astronomers and advance the
science of astronomy. These are excellent, widely recognized
summaries of the state of the field. Most astronomers in the
United States and Canada, and many in Europe and Japan, have
at least one or two ASP Conference Series volumes on their
shelves, and most American science libraries have large collections.
But this is not true in third world countries.
Make
a gift today to support providing the Conference Series
volumes to third world countries. We invite you to read
the document outlining the need and how you can partner
with the ASP to provide this valuable resource internationally. |

"The
ASP was a pioneer in public outreach programs. Today, the
entire astronomical community embraces such efforts as an
increasingly important means to foster awareness of scientific
progress and appreciation of the excitement of contemporary
research. Any contribution today can have a larger-than-life
impact on our society's educational efforts."
