Benefits of membership

Publications

Every campus representative and associate receives AAC&U's quarterly journals: Liberal Education, Peer Review, and Diversity Digest. These award-winning journals provide a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in undergraduate education. Individuals on member campuses also receive discounts on AAC&U monographs and reports.

Post Job Announcements, Conferences, and Resources

Member campuses may post information concerning job announcements, conferences, calls for proposals or resources available on AAC&U's Web site. The information also gets circulated to more than 7,000 individuals on member campuses who receive our monthly newsletter, AAC&U News.

Meetings

Individuals from member institutions can register for meetings at lower fees and save substantially on team registrations. AAC&U offers a number of opportunities during the year for individuals from every sector of higher education to meet together. Presidents, chief academic officers, deans, chairs, faculty, student affairs and other administrators, foundation leaders and higher education policy makers gather at the annual meeting held each January, attend the series of working conferences throughout the academic year, and participate in summer institutes which provide an opportunity for hands-on work and in-depth study of a particular area such as sustainable innovation or general education.

Initiatives and Institutes

Guidance, support, and good models for campus planning are offered through project initiatives and summer institutes. The Institute on General Education provides an opportunity for campus teams to plan and reshape their own general education programs, and campus leadership teams come to the Greater Expectations Institute to advance a specific educational change project. Member fees for Institutes are significantly lower, and members have greater access to ongoing information so that they can apply early.

Opportunities to Become an Opinion Leader

By writing for our journals and Web sites, leading workshops and meeting sessions, and participating in conferences, campus representatives and associates help shape the mission and priorities of one of the nation's leading higher education associations.

Networking Opportunities

AAC&U is the only national organization that brings together individuals across higher education sectors, divisions, and disciplines to focus squarely on issues of student learning. It provides a forum for campus leaders to connect with each other and participate in the national dialogue about the purposes of undergraduate education and the future of the academy.
