Become a TCU member
Institutional members have access to resources and opportunities for networking and solution development. Resources will be updated on a rolling basis to reflect emerging good practice and accumulated collective wisdom.
Access our Resource Collection
The collection is envisioned to include case studies (exposition, explanations, outcomes), tools, and assessment assistance for those working with such units on particular issues.
We have provided an academic diagnostic tool, called AUDiT, that you can use to get started on understanding your unit’s relative health. You can also read our publication, Academic Leadership Development.
Please peruse our Leadership Collection for more on becoming an academic leader and fostering academic leadership.
Additional Member Benefits
Member institutions benefit from free attendance at the Consortium’s conferences as well as access to resources (case studies, best practice guides, etc.) and tools for assessing and working with challenged units that would be continually augmented through research and shared experience and feedback.
