Sponsors and Supporters

The Access & Diversity Collaborative aims to be grounded in both reality and the law. This is accomplished through an operating structure that includes representatives from sponsoring College Board member institutions and other higher education organizations, as well as individuals with a detailed understanding of the legal issues involved. Truly a collaborative effort, 34 institutions of higher education, 10 organizations and three foundations support this work and lend their expertise to advance the access and diversity goals of higher education.

We developed a small cadre of individuals from supporting institutions and organizations to provide advice. They also serve as a sounding board for ideas and other issues that might arise during the project. These representatives agree that we should continue building on the work already completed through the following objectives:

  • Provide assistance to institutions in implementing sound diversity-related policies.
  • Expand the reach of the Collaborative to more individuals, institutions and organizations.
  • Extend the conversation beyond higher education.

The primary benefits of sponsorship are two-for-one registrations for all seminars (for each paid registration, you will receive one complimentary registration), free copies of Collaborative publications, and opportunities to provide advice and direction for the activities of the Collaborative. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact us.
