As I mentioned in the Fall newsletter, I encourage you to consider those who should be nominated for the APS Excellence in Physics Education Award. This award recognizes and honors a team or group of individuals (such as a collaboration), or an exceptional individual, who has exhibited a sustained commitment to excellence in physics education. More information about the award can be found on APS website. The deadline for nominations for this award is July 1. I also want to remind you of a new award by the APS Committee on Education (APS COE). This new COE Award for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education recognizes best practices in undergraduate physics education. More information about this award can be found on APS website. The deadline for nomination for this award is July 15 each year. In addition to the above awards, please consider nominating individuals who have made lasting contributions to physics education for APS Fellowship through the FEd. The deadline for APS FEd Fellowship nominations is April 1 each year. The individuals nominated must be FEd members. Each FEd nomination is evaluated by the FEd Fellowship committee.
The Editor for the next Summer newsletter is Nic Rady. Please consider writing an article for this newsletter and email it to Nic. Finally, if you have any suggestions related to FEd activities, please let me know.
