Presidents Forum Guiding Values
Why it matters
The Presidents Forum is reshaping higher education with a focus on working learners and transparent, innovative practices.
The big picture
Executive Director Wesley Smith outlines three core values that set the Presidents Forum apart:
- Putting students first: Prioritizing student success above all, especially for “working learners” with diverse needs.
- Transparency: Evaluating institutions based on the financial value they provide to students and advocating for regulatory parity in distance education.
- Accountable innovation: Fostering innovation that directly enhances student success, not just for its own sake.
What’s next
The Presidents Forum invites collaboration and partnership to continue reshaping higher education for today’s learners.
