ASCE News Published Exclu-
sively in Digital Format
As part of its ongoing commitment to
sustainability and fiscal responsibility,
ASCE, in January 2011, began
publishing ASCE News in digital
format, rather than a printed copy.
Since ASCE News is no longer being
automatically sent by email, members
can access the digital edition at www.
asce.org/ascenews at midmonth, the
same time the print edition would have
been received in the mail.
