This will be our second and, almost certainly, final virtual conference.

Last year’s ASEE Annual Conference was a success by almost any measure, and all of us—ASEE staff, leaders, volunteers, and you, our attendees—contributed to a great meeting. We are confident that this year’s event will be even better. Whether attending in person or on a computer, one thing remains the same, and that’s the tremendous amount of great content that ASEE’s Annual Conference unfailingly delivers. From our fantastic plenary speakers, paper presentations, and technical sessions to our inspiring lineup of Distinguished Lectures and panel discussions, you will have many learning opportunities and take-aways. I hope you enjoy this week’s events and please feel free to “find” me and reach out with any questions or comments! Sincerely, SHERYL SORBY ASEE President 2020-2021 2 Schedule subject to change.

  • Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: a Growing Tradition
    Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: A Growing Tradition 1 About this book This book is about our wonderful Zoo donors who have established endowed funds and positions at the Saint Louis Zoo. Most importantly, it tells their stories. Stories about people who worked hard, built successful businesses in St. Louis, and wanted to give something back to their community. Stories about people who lived simply and quietly, and gave generous and unexpected gifts. People who made our city and our Zoo what it is today and whose vision will live on tomorrow. As author Alexander McCall Smith wrote, “A life without stories would be no life at all. And stories bound us, did they not, one to another, the living to the dead, people to animals, people to the land.” I am inspired by each of the stories in this book. Some are about people and names who might be familiar, some are less known. But I am struck by how each of these donors was touched by the Zoo at some point in his or her life and how each was inspired to make an investment in our future. As an anthropologist, I have studied landmark learning experiences, those “aha” moments when a spark is ignited and we are inspired to learn more, or a light bulb goes on, and we get it. We have seen something amazing, and we want to know more. For many, a visit to the Saint Louis Zoo is the first encounter with a wild animal. It is something memorable and wonderful, and that has not changed in more than 100 years.

  • 2019-2020 Annual Report (Pdf, 1
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY July 2019-June 2020 Dear friends, 2020 proved to be one of the most unique and challenging years in the Science Museum of Minnesota’s long history as a trusted resource for the community’s science learning. Back in 1907, our founders set out to “promote among all classes of people the knowledge and enlightenment that are essential to right living and good citizenship.” Among the offerings that first year were lectures on the spread of contagious diseases, among many other topics. It’s fascinating to consider our organization’s roots in light of today’s events and the renewed interest in the science of public health. Looking back on our history, we are struck by what has changed over more than a century — and what remains the same. And perhaps most of all, we’re struck by the Science Museum’s impressive track record of evolving to meet the changing needs of the community. The museum continues to evolve. It’s part of who we are, and the challenges of the past year demanded it. We were on track to meet or even exceed our goals for FY20 when the pandemic hit.
