FY17 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

ASOR ANNUAL MEETING

STUDENT AND EARLY-CAREER MEMBERS RECEIVE FREE COPIES OF GITIN POTTERY VOLUMES

One of the major components of ASOR’s Strategic Plan is to continue its support of student and early-career members. We provide this support in part through scholarships for participation in the Annual Meeting, with fellowships for summer field work, and with reduced membership rates. We also provide special opportunities for interaction at the Annual Meeting, and we plan to increase those opportunities at the Annual Meeting in Denver in November 2018.

In March, we announced a new way that ASOR would support our student and early-career members—by raising contributions to award as many copies as possible of Seymour Gitin’s The Ancient Pottery of Israel and Its Neighbors from the Iron Age through the Hellenistic Period. These volumes are an outstanding resource. Many are calling them “The Ceramics Bible.”

We are very pleased to announce that ASOR was able to raise funds to purchase and ship sixty copies of this resource! We had requests from 94 student and early-career members, so we were able to support approximately two-thirds of the requests. We are still seeking support to provide copies of this resource to the remaining 33 members, so please e-mail ASOR Executive Director Andy Vaughn (executive-director@asor.org) if you would like to support this initiative.

 

This special offer was made possible by five anonymous donors who have made contributions so that Undergraduate, Graduate, and Early Career Members of ASOR can receive these amazing volumes for free. A big thank you to these donors for this unique opportunity! ASOR selected 60 members from the 94 applicants at random, and the Israel Exploration Society is currently shipping the sets to the recipients by surface mail. Note: if you are one of the recipients and have any questions, please e-mail Marta at the ASOR office (info@asor.org).
