New Student Chapters
ASCD is pleased to announce two new student chapters: Hofstra University ASCD student chapter in New York and Bloomsburg University ASCD student chapter in Pennsylvania. Student chapters are campus-based organizations formed to accelerate education students' professional growth and self-identification as education professionals. By meaningfully engaging with ASCD resources and interacting with members of the ASCD community, student chapter members gain the energizing “ASCD edge” that helps raise their future professional performance levels. ASCD currently has 49 student chapters.
