• MEETINGS: Our meetings are opened for the entire CfA community. We are now comprised of members from each division and department. Our Alliance Minutes pages are updated after every meeting.

• MAILING LIST: We have created a mailing list on head-cfa called "outreach_local" from which members can receive notice of upcoming meetings, school events, CfA visits, and developing projects, with the opportunity to join in on whatever level they feel capable. To join the list, simply email majordomo with the message body subscribe outreach_local . You will then begin to receive our news in your email inbox.

  Until the archive of messages is operational, those of you with HEAD-LAN accounts can browse previous messages to "outreach_local" as follows:

     
  
  
  NEWSLETTER: The Education
  Bulletin should be reaching you via your mailstop. If you have
  missed any, past issues of Education Bulletin can be accessed
  online. This monthly newsletter will provide you
  with deadlines of important education grants, spotlights on education projects
  around the CfA and a list of events occurring at the CfA or in other
  educational institutions. Please send your
   contributions for the Education Bulletin
  to Vinay Kashyap, 
  vkashyap@head-cfa.harvard.edu by the last Monday of the month to be
  included in the next month's newsletter.
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  EMPLOYEE RESOURCES: We have been collecting
  information about the educational work presently being done by
  employees here at the CfA as well as the personal resources offered by
  employees who may not be presently involved in educational
  projects. The aim is to gather as much as possible and organize it
  here for quick access.
  
  The educational projects underway at the CfA are listed in several
  places on the various CfA web pages. Here are the three major starting
  points for learning more about science education and outreach at the
  CfA:
  
  
  
  Public Affairs
  and Publications
   
  The Science Education Department
  
  The High Energy
  Astrophysics Education and Outreach Home Page
   
  Structure and Evolution
  of the Universe Education Forum
  
  
  
  
  Our employee educational
  resource database is a chance for all interested CfA employees to
  register themselves as personal educational resources for needs such
  as school speaker, tour guide, technical editor, interested parent,
  slide changer, science education expert, teacher, photocopier, Girl
  Scout Troop Leader, writer, astrophotographer, excellent role
  model...you get the idea! 
  
  The CfA maintains a similar database of scientists' research
  work for undergraduates to use when looking for advisors and
  mentors, and the Division of Public Affairs has a table of CfA personnel
  willing to visit schools and includes the topics and age groups
  with which they are most comfortable. Eventually, we would like to
  combine the Public Affairs table with ours into one complete database.
  Each entry in our database includes not
  only the person's resources, but also a contact phone number, office location,
  and immediate access to the email address. Clicking on a name in the
  database automatically
  brings up a window where you can type a message to that person.
  
  To register yourself, please email
  us with your name and division, room number and phone number, and the
  resources you would like to offer. Soon this page will have a simple form
  for you to fill in with the same information.
  
  Public Affairs maintains a WWW homepage to help document the outreach
  inquiries that reach the Public Affairs Office. This page links interested CfA
  employees to recent speaker requests which have come into the Public
  Affairs office. Please see http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ep/outreach.html
  for more information.
