�鶹��ý��վ

The Higher Education Forum, a collaboration of higher education leaders and scholars, launched in 1984 and moved to the �鶹��ý��վ in 2022. The Higher Education Forum is an opportunity for the �鶹��ý��վ to provide leadership and learning on pressing issues in higher education with an interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach that draws on the strengths of its members and Affiliates.    

Forum activities, including an annual meeting at Aspen, are an opportunity to bring together �鶹��ý��վ Affiliate leaders and other higher education stakeholders to discuss the most pressing matters facing campus communities and society more broadly. The �鶹��ý��վ is proud to continue the tradition of hosting the annual Higher Education Forum meeting in Aspen.

The activities of the Forum are guided by �鶹��ý��վ experts and leaders within higher education including: the Higher Education Forum Advisory Committee, �鶹��ý��վ Affiliates, and �鶹��ý��վ members. Importantly, the Forum engages the �鶹��ý��վ’s Affiliates, comprised of colleges, universities, and cultural and scientific institutions who, united in their commitment to advancing the common good, work with the �鶹��ý��վ to address issues of both timely and abiding concern.  

Related work includes the Commission on Opportunities After High School, the Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education, a�Ի� The Lincoln Project. The Humanities Indicators, which provides researchers and policymakers with reliable, nonpartisan data – including in higher education – and has been at the �鶹��ý��վ since 2009. 

The Forum furthers the �鶹��ý��վ’s education portfolio by providing opportunities to be nimbler and more experimental in response to issues that matter to higher education as they develop, while also informing the �鶹��ý��վ’s longer-term work in higher education.
