Leadership

We partner with educational leaders and innovators across campus and around the world to shape the future of higher education -- and learning. We facilitate a culture of innovation at U-M as we seek to inspire change in higher education and reinforce an engaged and informed society. We support the U-M community through the exploration of new modalities of learning and leverage the power of novel educational technology and translational research in service of strengthening the quality of a Michigan education and enhancing our impact on society -- and over generations.
