"With the number of ways I have not had to reinvent the wheel, CUPA-HR has saved me a ton of time.”
– Kartha Heinz, Director of Human Resources, The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology

Everyone likes to save time and money. With a CUPA-HR membership, you can do both!

Because we’re halfway through our regular membership year, which ends June 30, 2024, you can now join CUPA-HR at a discounted price.

When your institution joins by February 29, you and an unlimited number of your colleagues will receive full access to numerous benefits and resources at half the price of regular membership. By becoming a member of CUPA-HR, you’ll be able to:

  • Expand your understanding of compensation and workforce trends and lead your team in making more informed decisions with access to classification and compensation toolkits. With membership, you’ll also unlock access to exclusive cuts of our higher ed salary and workforce data and receive significant discounts on the purchase of additional data when you participate in CUPA-HR’s workforce surveys.
  • Save time and ease your team’s workload with unlimited access to ready-made templates, practical higher ed policies, helpful articles and training resources in the CUPA-HR Knowledge Center — an online library filled with toolkits to help you and your team avoid reinventing the wheel.
  • Boost your team’s higher ed HR skills and competencies with access to free e-learning courses and short training videos on topics essential to higher ed HR. You’ll also be able to utilize CUPA-HR’s Learning Framework to assist you and your team in setting a clear vision and professional goals for growth and development.
  • Connect with a collaborative community of higher ed HR professionals from across the country and internationally to share your knowledge, find support, gain new perspectives and learn how others are making an impact on their campuses.
