CAHRScasts (Webcasts) – connect with ILR faculty, HR professionals, participate in live discussions about critical HR topics, and access archived webcasts on your own schedule.
Faculty Profiles – Human Resource Faculty Write ups feature the latest research by top HR faculty, along with opportunities for CAHRS partners to participate in – and benefit first hand from – these unique studies.
Research Links – provides HR practitioners with concise, high-level overviews of research by Cornell ILR School's HR Studies faculty. ResearchLink covers not only studies published in academic journals, but also the most up-to-date, completed research yet to be submitted for publication.
Student Papers – CAHRS faculty supervise individual student "directed study" projects on key topics.

Partners can submit semester-long projects to teams of graduate students, who address the real issues facing corporations.
Upcoming Events – face-to-face opportunities for members to network with fellow HR professionals on today's hottest HR and business issues, through Working Groups and a Partner Meeting. Virtual opportunities such as webcasts, newsletters and CAHRS Top Ten are highlighted.
