Higher Education Past Presidents' Association
Creating a Better Future Through Revisioning Global Higher Education
Why HEPPA?
Higher education routinely enjoys the talents, skills and wisdom of brilliant leaders,
many of whom served their institutions as presidents for a number of years. When they
step out of the presidency they take with them a broad view and deep understanding
of the strengths, weaknesses and challenges facing today's higher education system
as well as the experience to effectuate change, thereby empowering them to create
a more perfect system. Knowing the problems currently confronting higher education
and the possibilities yet to be explored, they are in a unique position to guide a
world that is hungry for moral education and ethical leadership. The Higher Education
Past Presidents' Association will serve as a global forum and think-tank for these
distinguished US and world leaders to address the future of higher education and,
through it, the problems of the world. Its members will study specific problems, along
with the numerous opportunities open to higher education today, and draft white papers
to be shared with interested audiences around the globe.
