Operation Groundswell

THE WORLD IS CHANGING. HELP CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER.

This summer, learn from inspiring people and places.

At Operation Groundswell, we give students the tools to create meaningful change in the communities you call home. We’ll connect you with inspiring local farmers, artists, educators, and activists who are making incredible change in their communities.

Led by two experienced leaders, our small teams dive straight into life on the ground through immersive homestays and meaningful volunteer work. Local change-makers lead us in improving their communities - sharing their stories along the way.

We have grants available for students that make our summer programs accessible. 95% of students receive financial assistance grants, which can cover up to 25% of your program fee. More information about the grant is available on our website

Programs are filling up quickly, so apply as soon as possible. The deadline for summer program applications is March 1st!

ASA HONORS PROGRAM - NOMINATIONS

ASA Honors Program 

Call for Nominations

2019 Annual Meeting — New York, NY
August 10-13, 2019

Application Deadline: February 15

ASA is seeking applications from exceptional undergraduate sociology majors who would like to participate in the 2019 ASA Honors Program. The 2019 ASA Honors Program will take place during the ASA Annual Meeting in New York. It provides undergraduate students with a rich introduction to the professional and intellectual life of the discipline.

Participants will give a roundtable paper presentation, attend events and workshops focused on careers and graduate school in sociology, meet prominent scholars, develop peer networks, and much more.

An application requires nomination by a sociology faculty member from the student’s home institution. The nominating department also benefits from their students’ involvement in the Honors Program, as the program provides valuable institutional exposure and allows top sociology majors to represent their departments. 

Visit www.asanet.org/honors-program for more information or send an e-mail with questions to Dr. Dennis M. Rome, Director of the ASA Honors Program, at honors@asanet.org. All application materials must be submitted online by February 15.
