What sets CUPA-HR apart from other HR associations? Our higher ed focus. For 60 years, CUPA-HR has provided programs and resources that address the unique needs of our members.

Resources for Learning and Professional Development

• Only members have access to our Web-based Knowledge Center, the most comprehensive online source of best practices in higher education HR, HR compliance libraries, e-learning opportunities and public policy information.
• Members receive discounts on conferences, workshops and webinars geared specifically to the needs of higher ed HR practitioners.
• Only members receive our up-to-the-minute public policy alerts and weekly e-mail updates about what's happening in Washington, the profession, the Knowledge Center and the association.
• Our new magazine, The Higher Education Workplace, is packed with articles, tips and resources to help you tackle day-to-day workplace challenges, as well as long-term strategic workforce issues. The magazine is published three times a year and is delivered to members as a member benefit.

Opportunities to Make Connections Within the Higher Ed Community
