2020 CAMP CANCELED
After careful consideration about the hands-on format of ASM Materials Camp and review of the CDC guidance on community events on preventing the spread of COVID-19, I have made the difficult decision to cancel camp scheduled for June 16-19, 2020.
I am disappointed that we will be unable to host camp this year, but I feel that this is the best course of action given these uncertain circumstances.
Thank you to everyone who has applied for camp. We greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and support of materials science and engineering.
