Dear John,
Registration for the 2024 AAUP Summer Institute is open! Join us August 1–4 at Wayne State University in Detroit.
What is the Summer Institute? It's a four-day workshop series where academic activists develop their skills in organizing, bargaining, defending shared governance, and more. The Summer Institute is a space for faculty across the country to compare notes and strategies for the future of higher education. Our hope is that you will leave with stronger connections and new skills for the next academic year.

- Responding to Artificial Intelligence
