ACCU's quarterly e-newsletter is read by more than 6,000 people throughout Catholic higher education

Update

The newsletter of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities

Now available: Summer 2020

Editor’s Note: Readers will find that the summer 2020 edition of Update looks different from previous issues. Ongoing restrictions related to the coronavirus have necessitated some creativity on the part of ACCU staff, who continue to work remotely. We hope you find the material no less compelling.

Submissions of material for future editions may be sent to pmoore@accunet.org.
