Unlock the value of EDUCAUSE — resources for UK ITS staff
As part of the University of Kentucky’s EDUCAUSE membership, all University of Kentucky Information Technology (UK ITS) staff have access to a wide range of resources that can support professional growth, strengthen connections and help our teams stay at the forefront of higher education technology. EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association dedicated to those who lead, manage and use IT in colleges and universities.
Through the EDUCAUSE membership, staff can explore research, publications and analytics that provide insight into emerging technologies, trends and challenges shaping higher education. Members have access to benchmarking tools, data services and publications like EDUCAUSE Review, a magazine dedicated to exploring the latest issues in our field. These resources make it easier to plan strategically, evaluate innovations and understand where the industry is headed.
Professional development is another important benefit of membership. EDUCAUSE offers leadership and management training through the EDUCAUSE Institute, as well as specialized events on topics such as enterprise IT, information security and teaching and learning. Members receive discounted pricing for both online and in-person programs and can take advantage of mentoring and volunteer opportunities that help expand skills and strengthen impact within and beyond the university.
There are also opportunities to connect with peers across the globe. EDUCAUSE hosts topic-based communities and online discussion groups where members can share ideas, ask questions and collaborate on challenges. These communities provide a direct line to colleagues at other institutions who are working on similar projects and encountering similar opportunities, allowing staff to learn from one another and expand their professional networks.
Whether you are looking to predict and respond to new trends, advance your career or make connections with higher education technology professionals, EDUCAUSE has tools and communities to support you.
