classroom acoustics.”
In addition to these events, an ASA exhibit booth was
available to welcome and inform curious faculty and stu- dents. Finally, Uwe Hansen conducted acoustics demonstra- tions throughout the entire conference in the grand exhibit hall. The demonstration tables were occupied with several instruments including long springs, wine glasses, shakers and plates forming Chladni patterns, tuning forks, laptops with spectral analysis software, an acoustic levitation instrument, and an active noise cancellation headset.
In an effort to continue exposing underrepresented fac- ulty and students to acoustics, all ASA members are invited to submit an acoustics paper to next year’s NSBP/NSHP con- ference in Washington, DC, at www.nsbp.org/conference /abstracts/.
The Ad-Hoc Committee on Diversity in Acoustics will meet on Thursday mornings of each national ASA meeting. Interested ASA members are welcome to attend and actively participate.
