February is Black History Month!  ASTC wants to know what are members are doing to celebrate the important contributions African-Americans have made to our society, especially in science, mathematics, technology and engineering.  We will be featuring programs and events on the ASTC web site in February.

In addition to information on programming, we are also interested in gathering resources for Black History Month and the other heritage celebrations established in the United States and by the United Nations.  Please feel free to forward any resources you have found to be especially helpful in designing similar programming.  We are working to compile a list of resources that will be available in the resource are of the ASTC web site.

Information on U.S. Heritage Months, Holidays and Awareness Days can be found on the National Archives web site at http://www.archives.gov/research/arc/topics/calendar/.

The calendar of United Nations Observances can be found at http://www.un.org/observances/index.shtml.
