Join us for the first webinAAR in our 2026 Presidential WebinAAR Series highlighting The REL Toolbox (reltoolbox.ua.edu), a free online advocacy resource for religion departments and programs. The REL Toolbox is a new resource that includes brief entries, written by a variety of scholars on a number of topics of relevance to leading a department today, from budgets and mentoring graduate students to recruiting majors, managing external program reviews, and even merging a unit or reinventing a program. This workshop will be a guided and interactive approach to examining a program's strength, weaknesses, and possibilities. Participants will learn how to use the REL Toolbox to build up program resilience and tactically address challenges in HigherEd. This webinAAR is sponsored by the AAR's Academic Relations Committee.
