One of the Higher Education Program's greatest strengths is its faculty. Accomplished researchers, they publish extensively, consult widely to colleges and universities, schools, and not-for-profit organizations, and are active in their professional organizations. Most important, though, they are excellent teachers who bring their vast experience and excitement for their fields into their courses and advising.
