CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The North American Association of Summer Sessions (NAASS), the Association of University Summer Sessions (AUSS), the North Central Conference on Summer Sessions (NCCSS), and the Western Association of Summer Session Administrators (WASSA) are pleased to announce that Summer Academe: A Journal of Higher Education has been revised and will be published annually in an online format. The first issue of the “rebooted” journal is anticipated in early 2012.     

Summer Academe: A Journal of Higher Education is a professional journal published jointly by NAASS, AUSS, NCCSS, and WASSA. It has provided university and college administrators, deans and directors of summer sessions, and faculty involved in teaching and programming in summer sessions with a source of current research and best practices in summer session administration and pedagogy since 1998. Following a review in 2010, the sponsoring associations decided to revise and broaden the mandate of Summer Academe to include features on conference presentations, special topics, and media and book reviews. Research will continue to be an important component, but the added features should increase the value to readers. Summer Academe: A Journal of Higher Education is published annually and is indexed in Educational Indexes/Abstracts and ERIC.
