Friends and Partners,
For 25 years IHEP has worked tirelessly to expand college access and promote success for all students, especially low-income students, working class students, and students of color. Today we celebrate our timely research; purposeful advocacy and invaluable partnerships with institutions, practitioners, researchers and fellow advocates. Together, we put equity first in higher education policymaking.
This year, we'll build on our 25-year legacy by releasing new policy priorities; launching Degrees When Due, a national initiative to help campuses improve educational attainment; and elevating the stories of students overcoming college access, affordability and completion challenges.
Join us as we celebrate this important milestone and begin the next chapter of research and advocacy for our nation’s students. And celebrate with us on social media by using #IHEP25.
Here’s to another 25 years!
Michelle Asha Cooper, Ph.D.
President
