Dear ASPE Members – It’s been a busy and exciting few months – we have welcomed a new management team to ASPE, and many of our members have published research, started new programs, and few have even been allowed to retire (although one suspects, not to slow down!)
With our schedules so busy, please take a moment to read through the September/October ASPE News, and to consider: do I have some news to share? A new venture to publicize? An opinion to discuss with the membership? We are looking for interesting subjects, people and events to share through ASPE News, and we’d love to hear from you.

Dear ASPE Members – What an incredible conference we had in June! And, in true SP and Simulation Educator tradition, it’s time to debrief. This huge double-issue is full of wonderful reflection and discussion, as well as celebration. And now, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, it’s “back to school” time, and whether it’s the start of Autumn or Spring where you are, we wish you a successful one, and we’ll see you in September.
