PAST PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, August 2021
To all teachers of science in the Last Frontier 2021-2022:
Thank you all so very much for your tenacity, compassion, and the ability to model the resilience and flexibility we all need to navigate these challenging times.
Even as we are postponing the biennial conference that is the Cadillac of our professional development efforts most years, plans are underway to reach out to teachers and offer up bite-size talks and experiences to enhance your science education efforts and to share what other organizations are providing.
Please strongly consider joining ASTA this year, and NSTA (national), too, so we can strengthen our voices to build opportunities in science. We want to know what you need to put your best foot forward for your students and to enjoy the journey with them.
Sincerely,
Patty Brown, ASTA Past (and Acting) President 2021-2022

CHOHLA MOLL: My students come from over 100 villages and leave their families, communities, and cultures to get an education at my school. We are their teachers, but we are also much more. In all that I do, I try to make the sacrifice they and their families have made worth it. I represent my family, the community that raised me, and my school community. This award is a symbol to my students and my children that if you do what you love and you love what you do, you can be successful and have fun doing it!
