the Legislature, the media and the general public. CAPPS’ member schools are featured in press releases, electronic updates, and other media formats. Your membership provides opportunities to talk about your
Institutional activities in new and exciting ways.

assistance. Or we can assist you in finding the qualified expert that you need to resolve your issues.
