Membership

Why should I pay my dues in a bad budget year?

RP Group dues are used to underwrite free or low cost professional development for institutional research offices and student learning outcomes coordinators.  These funds enable us to keep our website resources up to date, cover regional research group costs, support our work on SLOs, give the RP and POWER Awards, hold the RP Conference and the Summer Institute, and new this year ... will pay for a free webinar series.

These resources are of great value to colleges because they provide the tools, relationships, and knowledge that research offices need to efficiently and effectively support college efforts to document their outcomes and improve student success.
