There are several ways members may be involved in the life and work of the Academy.
Participate in the Member Election Process
Members may submit nominations, vote for candidates, and serve on selection panels.
Contribute to Dædalus
Each issue of Dædalus, the Academy’s quarterly journal, explores a single theme or subject from a multidisciplinary perspective in essays written by Academy members and other experts. Members are encouraged to propose topics for issues of Dædalus and to serve as guest editors.
Share the Academy’s Work
Members play a vital role in disseminating the Academy’s work to policy-makers, the media, scholars, students, and leaders in higher education, nonprofit organizations, business, and philanthropy.
Stay in Touch on Social Media
The Academy shares news, events, and updates on Facebook and Twitter. Follow, tag, and retweet to stay up to date and help promote the Academy’s work.
Attend an Event
The Academy holds events around the country and the globe, and during the COVID-19 pandemic these events have been held virtually. The gatherings bring members and others in their communities together to explore important topics through an interdisciplinary lens that draws on the Academy’s breadth and expertise.
Connect Locally
A national network of Local Program Committees and Representatives provides opportunities for members to connect with the work of the Academy and with each other in the communities where they live.
