Education sessions at the ASSA

For those attending the ASSA meetings, here are all the sessions I could find related to economic education. Also, if anyone wants suggestions for places to eat / things to do while in San Diego, particularly if you want to get away from the Gaslamp, feel free to drop me an email - I love sharing San Diego with folks!

UPDATE: From Mark Maier: There will be a meeting for economic educators interested in community college instruction prior to the regular sessions, January 3, 2013, 4 PM. Manchester Grand Hyatt, Room Molly A&B. All welcome.
