The Institute on Connecting the Undergraduate Experience (iCUE) integrates four of AAC&U's signature institutes—the Curriculum-to-Careers Institute; the Institute on ePortfolios; the Institute on High-Impact Practices; and the Institute on General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment—into a single, comprehensive program designed to transform the undergraduate experience.

By bringing together career preparation, general education, high-impact practices, and ePortfolios, iCUE uniquely enables teams to explore the intersections across strategic goals, programmatic outcomes, and effective learning experiences—within and beyond the curriculum. The Institute's customizable curriculum encourages teams to choose a primary area of concentration (i.e., curriculum-to-career, general education, high-impact practices, or ePortfolio) with the ability to integrate concepts, strategies, and mentorship from other focus areas. This approach emphasizes collaboration across departments and divisions, alignment of goals and resources, and expansive thinking.

iCUE is a virtual, four-day, team-based event. Teams, comprised of diverse stakeholders, will engage with one another and with nationally recognized higher education experts.

Whether your institution is just beginning a transformation journey or seeking to refresh or reimagine existing initiatives, iCUE provides the tools, strategies, and partnerships needed to create transformative educational experiences that prepare students for success in their academic, professional, and civic lives.

The 2025 Institute on Connecting the Undergraduate Experience (iCUE) is a registration-based program.  Each member of the campus team should complete this registration form individually.

Note for Team Leaders - Registering Your Team Members

If you would like to register team members other than yourself, go back to this registration page, then, in Manage Registrations, select "Register a Colleague." From there, you can select from a list of individuals at your institution who have AAC&U profile accounts and register them one at a time.

If your team member is not on the list, please ask them to create an AAC&U account first here: https://aacu.my.site.com/NC__Login. Once each team member has an AAC&U account, you can register them one at a time.

Team members can also register themselves, if preferred. In the Choose Session section, team members should select "I am a Team Member." All team members must have an AAC&U account to register. To create an account, go here: https://aacu.my.site.com/NC__Login
