Across the country, there is a growing movement of higher education changemakers committed to interrupting the status quo. We see inequity and injustice and are committed to reimagining the system in order to get different results. We know better is possible and are united in our purpose: to become engines of equity, prosperity, and hope.
On October 26th-28th, we explored the unique role we each play in reshaping policy, perspective, and practice for the betterment of our nation’s students.
Recordings for sessions will soon be available.
