| Institutional
Liaison
The CUR Institutional Liaisons provide a personal link between CUR and
their home institution. They keep their home institution aware of
the "goings on" of CUR, promote CUR memberships among their
colleagues, and keep CUR informed of the needs and interests of their
colleagues, so that CUR programs can evolve to meet these needs. Not
sure if your school has a liaison? Click here to find the list of CUR
Liaisons . If your school does not have a liaison listed
and you would like to be the liaison for your school email the
CUR National Office . |
