CRA EFFECTIVE TEACHING, ACADEMIC CAREERS, AND INDUSTRIAL CAREERS WORKSHOPS
June 19-20, CRA will again offer its highly successful series of workshops for those who study or work in computing research. They aim to provide practical guidance for advanced graduate students and junior faculty as they choose or begin their careers. Reduced registration rates are available for students, faculty, and researchers who belong to CRA member organizations. The workshops will be held in conjunction with the USENIX Annual Technical Conference in San Diego, California.

Projects address a need for innovative curricula, courses, textbooks, instructional modules and instructional laboratories by integrating the research and education interests of faculty through involvement in curriculum change." Proposals are due by June 2, 2000.

SLOAN RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS, SEPTEMBER 15 DEADLINE
Nominations for candidates for the Fellowships in Computer Science are due by September 15, 2000. Candidates must be members of the regular faculty at a college or university in the United States or Canada and must be at an early stage of their research careers. "Sloan Research Fellows, once chosen, are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry are of the most compelling interest to them. Their Sloan funds can be applied to a wide variety of uses for which other, more restricted funds such as research project grants cannot usually be employed."
