The Power of Community

Higher education is under immense pressure, and while many institutions continue to respond independently, there is tremendous promise in the strength we can build together.

That’s why we work as one system.

Our colleges and universities embrace a new model, sharing essential infrastructure, aligning strengths, and prioritizing collective success to eliminate silos and overcome shared obstacles.

By working together, we enhance student success, accelerate innovation, and deliver stronger outcomes for the communities we serve.

Together, our colleges and universities expand access, support diverse learners, and strengthen communities.
