KEYWORDS: General Public, Communication/Writing, Administrative Issues
A
s part of ongoing changes at the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE), the function and publication of News and Announcements in the pages of JCE is transforming. The partnership between JCE and the Division of Chemical Education (DivCHED, a technical division of the American Chemical Society—ACS) has evolved to the point that changes can (and should be) made in the way news and announcements are handled in the Journal. DivCHED already provides timely information to the chemical education community via the DivCHED Web site,1 the CHED Newsletter,2 and the DivCHED Facebook open group.3,4 Anyone with news or an announcement relevant to the chemical education community can contact DivCHED through the online form at http://www.divched.org/content/contribute-website and, following approval, information will be disseminated online. Beginning with Volume 89, the Journal will use the News and Announcements designation to publish occasional items, mainly to communicate with our readers about changes underway at JCE. Watch for these, and connect with the news of your community online via DivCHED!
