What is a SIG?

A SIG is a Special Interest Group. They differ from the traditional AHRD committees in that they:

• May be organized around an area to which AHRD members are making or are likely to make scholarly contributions.
• Provide disciplinary “home bases” for members with specific scholarly and/or professional interests.
• Encourage scholarship, dissemination of information, and fellowship among persons of similar academic and/or professional interests.
• Can offer a range of service activities, including educational sessions and social events, newsletters, web pages, professional development opportunities, and recognition programs.
