Give the Gift of an ANA Membership to a University

In today’s world, schools are struggling financially. Curricula is outdated. Students are facing poor job prospects. Remote learning has impeded the quality of connection between professor and student. The ANA Educational Foundation (AEF) has worked with academia for almost 40 years and in 2020, it has been closely involved in answering the calls from students and professors for help. Delivering content to thousands of students with industry materials and engaging more than 700 professors during the pandemic, the AEF has seen first-hand the issues that all universities are facing.

To keep our next generation of talent engaged and the professors who educate them inspired, the AEF is asking the industry to donate an ANA membership directly to a university of their choice. Access to ANA content, conferences, and training will not only bridge the gap, but even help accelerate the learning by offering the cutting edge tools, content, conferences, and training the ANA offers.
