Thanks to all who made the research sessions at AMEA 2008 both memorable and challenging for those in attendance. Kudos to Dr. Carl Hancock (University of Alabama) for his landmark research project that focuses on the attrition trends of music teachers. This is truly impressive work and we are fortunate to have someone in our state that is on the cutting edge of this important examination.


The 2008 Research Poster session was also a suc-


cess. Listed below are the authors and their respective proj- ects as presented. The Higher Education division would like to make the research poster session an annual event---so start


preparing those abstracts! Deadline for the Call for Abstracts for the 2009 AMEA In-Service Conference will be Septem- ber 15, 2008. Please submit an abstract (500 words or less) electronically to dorlof@troy.edu along with current contact information. Graduate students are encouraged to submit as well.


Again, many thanks to those that took the time to present their research findings. It is an important part of our profession to learn from each other in a collegial atmosphere. See you in 2009!
