1. Advice on the CSWA Website
From: Joan Schmelz [jschmelz
memphis.edu]
My co-editor, Caroline Simpson, suggested recently that CSWA have a webpage
with links to resources/information/articles, arranged by topic. The
subscribers of AASWOMEN have discussed many interesting topics over the
years, and all this information is available in old issues, but it is
not in a convenient and readily accessible format.
I thought this was such a good idea that I immediately suggested several
topics that should be included on the webpage:
-- How to be a Better Advisor I: Top Ten List
-- How to be a Better Advisor II: Student Tears
-- Yes, Virginia, Discrimination and Harassment Do Still Happen
-- New Advice for an Old Problem? (2-Body Problem)
It is possible to find these topics on the website if you know where and
when to look, but I like the idea of a topics page where a 'novice' (i.e.,
someone with no history with CSWA, AASWOMEN, or STATUS) could turn to find
information relevant to issues in which he/she might be interested.
Do you agree? If so, what other topics would you like to see covered?
Finally, are there topics that you think should be included that AASWOMEN
has not discussed (or discussed recently)?
Please send us your thoughts and feedback!

2. Tenure-Track Position at New Mexico Tech
From: Michelle Creech-Eakman [mceinanna.nmt.edu]
I just wanted to point out that we have a tenure-track position open here
at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, NM. Our department and university have much
to offer astronomers/physicists including a wonderful, close-knit campus of
2000 students (40% of whom are women), a department faculty of 12 (6 of us
do astronomy and 4 of us are women), the operations center for the VLA is
across the street, and we are in the early operational phases of a new
optical/infrared observatory: the Magdalena Ridge Observatory.
You can learn more about our department at: http://www.physics.nmt.edu
You can learn more about the observatory at: http://www.mro.nmt.edu
