The ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) is driven by, for and with the community! Microbiology and biology educators gather to learn best practices and classroom strategies, hear biology education research updates, and meet new colleagues who teach the same classes. Join us and come learn from your peers and network with like-minded educators. 

Plan now to contribute to ASMCUE by submitting a proposal for a concurrent education session, workshop, education research poster, short tips & tools talk ("microbrew"), or dissemination station! View the 2019 program for a glimpse of what's in store. 

Mark your calendar to join us! 2020 ASMCUE will be held July 9–12, 2020, in Bellevue, Washington. 

New for 2020: Test-drive and get feedback on active learning technique in the Activity Test Kitchen – a new and fun way to network with other attendees.
