It’s ideal for anyone who could benefit from a basic understanding of higher ed HR — young and early-career professionals, HR staff who are new to higher ed and others.

“I really enjoyed CUPA-HR Boot Camp because I am new to higher education and it helped me understand structure, faculty classification and HR’s role in the institution.”
