AAC&U officers and staff regularly travel throughout
the country, and occasionally the world, to speak and
consult at AAC&U member schools through seminars,
institutes, and workshops as well as in more informal
gatherings. These meetings are an opportunity for the

initiatives. We look forward to seeing you the next
time we are on your campus.
