Initiative
The Presidents’ Trust
A diverse network of higher education leaders who advance the vision, values, and practices that connect liberal education with the needs of an increasingly diverse student body, a global workforce, and thriving communities.
Advancing Excellence through Leadership
The Presidents’ Trust brings together presidents of colleges, universities, foundations, and associations of every type and size to share ideas, address common challenges, and advance shared goals. As a collective voice for liberal education, members champion academic quality and student success and, through shared leadership, help shape the future of higher education to ensure its benefits extend to all students.
