Our Summer Institute is the premier training program for faculty advocates, and one of the best sources available for learning the practical skills that faculty unionists need to build their organizations and run them successfully. Every year, faculty members from around the country attend this four-day series of intensive workshops to learn about AAUP policies, discuss the issues facing the academy, sharpen their skills as union leaders, and develop strategies for organizing. Not only do attendees benefit from these educational, skills-building sessions, but they also enjoy the opportunity to network and brainstorm with fellow higher-education advocates.
The 2025 Summer Institute will be held July 17–20 at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Stay tuned for more information on panels, speakers, and daily itineraries.
