Welcome to the new AUA Special Interest Group resource area. We’ve redesigned the way information is accessed to make it easier for members and other visitors to find the resources they need.
There are currently groups for:
- Departmental Administrators
- Managing Change in Higher Education
- Partnerships
- Academic Quality and Enhancement Practitioners
- Space Management
- International Higher Education
Some of these groups now have their own wiki.
Use the left hand links to find out more about each group. You can also find out how Special Interest Groups work, and information about setting up new groups under the 'about' section.
