Overview
The Division of Outreach seeks to promote a wider public understanding and appreciation of classics. Its goal is to strengthen the APA's ability to communicate with a broadly constituted audience. We are eager to reach out to teachers and students in secondary and elementary schools; academics in a variety of other disciplines; K-12, college, and university administrators; lawyers, physicians, the clergy and members of other learned professions; journalists and the mass media; and public policy makers and public opinion shapers. We also hope that our outreach efforts will attract the interest of individuals from a diverse group of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
The Division would be grateful for suggestions about to widen this interest as broadly as possible. There is much that our organization -- by drawing on the talents, creativity, and energy of its membership -- can do to heighten awareness of our field and to expand our intellectual community by pooling these resources. The Vice President for Outreach, Judith P. Hallett, is eager to hear from members who would like to work with the Committee on Outreach in its various initiatives, as well as from nonmembers who can let us know what programs and information would be of particular interest.
The rosters of the several committees in the Outreach Division are published in the APA's list of Officers, Directors, and Committees.
