Do you remember the professor who changed your perspective? Or the staff person who made you feel safe and at home? For many of us, the people we met while participating in higher education changed our lives.
This National Higher Education Month, we're asking our members and allies to call our hotline and share a story that highlights why higher education is or has been important to them.
We will be sharing your thoughts, as well as your staff, faculty, and graduate worker shout-outs, on our social media channels throughout the month of October!
