ARU-HRI Online Forum for Member Discussions

Connect with your ARU-HRI colleagues online through the ARU-HRI Community in CUPA-HR Connect. The community is a forum where ARU-HRI members and board members can converse and share resources focused on the leadership and management complexities related to the size and scope of ARU-HRI-affiliated universities. 

You can participate in this forum online at http://connect.cupahr.org (select Communities then My Communities to locate our group) or through your e-mail account, using the e-mail address [email protected]. 

We automatically set up ARU-HRI members to receive a daily digest email with notifications of the day’s discussions. You can adjust that setting to receive a real-time email for each post or no email. To adjust your settings, visit your profile and click the My Account tab to find the Community Notifications area.
