What an incredible experience it was to keynote the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Academic Partnerships Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada, earlier this week!
I'm deeply grateful to the Community College of Aurora for sharing me with the WICHE membership to discuss the importance of two- and four-year institutions, respectively, creating mission-aligned strategic partnerships that drive mission fulfillment and student transformation with the WICHE membership.
It was an honor to join provosts, academic vice presidents, chief executives, and leaders from 15 states, the U.S. Pacific Territories, and Freely Associated States—all committed to strengthening the future of higher education.
Thank you to the Western Academic Leadership Forum and the Western Alliance of Community College Academic Leaders for the opportunity, and congratulations to all who were recognized during the event.
When we build partnerships rooted in our missions and our students' needs, we truly are Stronger Together.
