The Society has been a big supporter of building up a new
generation of professionals in the fields of enology and
viticulture. Many professional members, including our past
president Mark Greenspan, were once recipients of ASEV
scholarships. This year, the Board raised the total scholarship
amount given to students from $75,000 to $100,000. Join us in congratulating
the 28scholarship
recipientsfrom throughout
the country, with special recognition to Jacob Uretsky of the
University of California, Davis, for receiving the ASEV Michael
Vail Scholarship.
The ASEV Board has also approved a new showcase scholarship
program, named the ASEV President’s Award for Scholarship in
Enology/Viticulture, beginning the 2017-2018 academic year. One
enology and one viticulture student will be awarded scholarships
(for a total of $25,000) for exceeding expectations of what is
typically required. More information will be available online
detailing the criteria and expectations for this new scholarship.
All scholarship applications are due March 1 each year.

Still high from the buzz at Monterey, the National Conference had
many attendees talking about the networking opportunities and
different programs offered at this year’s event. Despite some
construction, that small inconvenience didn’t deter attendees
from checking out the supplier displays that were in high demand
this year and for early career members to eat breakfast and get
professional development tips from mentors. To see some of
the activities from the National Conference, click on this link for photos. Audio recordings are now available for
purchase. Videos are available for free for ASEV members and can
be accessed here.
The next conference will be held in Bellevue, Washington, on June
26-29, 2017.
