Interest Groups and Networking
A major strength of the consortium is the willingness of its members to openly share ideas and information both informally through e-mail and phone calls and formally through Interest Group sessions at conferences. The focus of each group changes as members' needs dictate. Current Interest Groups include Emerging Technologies, Management, Administration and Services, Collection Development and Management, Instructional Design, Leadership and Small Institutions. Additionally, the CCUMC LISTSERV (link to the page about the LISTSERV) and the members only section of this web site allows members to network with colleagues electronically throughout the year.

Faculty, staff, and students at constituent member institutions are eligible to apply for the annual $2,000 Research Awards Program. Research reports are presented at conferences or published in the College & University Media Review.
