Complete College America released today the following statement from organization president Tom Sugar regarding the selection of Dr. Rob Anderson as president of the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO):
Today’s announcement from SHEEO signals the organization’s ongoing commitment to boosting college completion and closing achievement gaps in this country. Dr. Rob Anderson’s work with the Complete College Georgia initiative, and his prior leadership in West Virginia, have set him apart as an individual who runs toward the most pressing challenges in higher education and works relentlessly to find solutions. SHEEOs play a vital role in the growing college completion movement, and I’m confident Dr. Anderson will make the most of this opportunity to ensure all state higher education leaders more deeply engage in this important work. That is the only way we will be successful.
