The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is a professional association serving educational institutions and the advancement professionals who work on their behalf in alumni relations, communications, development, marketing and allied areas. CASE helps its members build stronger relationships with their alumni and donors, raise funds for campus projects, produce recruitment materials, market their institutions to prospective students, diversify the profession, and foster public support of education.

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) is a Washington, D.C.-based higher education association that represents the sector of over 500 regional public colleges, universities, and systems whose members share a learning- and teaching-centered culture, a historic commitment to student populations, and a dedication to research and creativity that advances their regions’ economic progress and cultural development. Campuses range in size from approximately 1,000 students to more than 45,000. AASCU members are found in the inner city; in suburbs, towns and cities; in remote rural America; and internationally. They are institutions of access and opportunity, believing that the promise of access and success should be real for all Americans. AASCU members are student-focused, committed to programs and policies that place students at the heart of their institution. And they are “stewards of place,” engaging faculty, staff and students with the communities and regions they serve—helping to advance public education, economic development and quality of life.
