How to Support AAARCC Programs 

AAARCC programs are free and open to the campus community. Here are ways to support our programming initiatives: 
1) Attend and promote AAARCC programs within your networks, classrooms, and listservs by downloading our flyers from our website. 

2) If you are a class instructor, assign our events as part of required or extra-credit activities for your class. If your whole class is interested in attending AAARCC events or volunteering for a class assignment, please email us at aaarcc@purdue.edu and we’d be happy to help coordinate this learning opportunity. 

3) Partner with us in co-planning events or provide co-sponsorship. If your department or organization is interested in partnering with AAARCC for an event or activity, please email us at aaarcc@purdue.edu. We believe that by working together, we can create even more enriching experiences and make a broader impact on campus life. 

4) Give to support our initiatives and encourage others to make financial gifts to the AAARCC. If you are interested in financially supporting AAARCC programs, please use this link: bit.ly/givetotheaaarcc
