Kellogg Forum on Higher Education For the Public Good

This project, funded by the Kellogg Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good, is housed at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. It seeks to increase awareness and engender commitment via an action agenda relevant to the public service role of higher education in the United States. The programmatic efforts of the Forum are carried out in three areas: leadership dialogues with education leaders to foster conversations about the public service mission; the promotion of partnerships to connect research to practice by linking public service research dissemination outlets and professional associations; and the influence of policy and perceptions related to the way in which universities and colleges act on their missions. The Higher Education Research Institute has provided leadership in the design of the national dialogues and has hosted one of the leadership dialogues at Oxnard, California. In addition, in collaboration with the University of Michigan's Center for the Study of Higher and Post-Secondary Education, the Institute has held an intergenerational research symposium at UCLA on the topic of higher education for the public good. The symposium engaged senior scholars, newly emerging scholars and foundation officers in developing strategies for strengthening the capacity of higher education’s scholarship to serve the public good.

Proceedings from the symposium are available on the publications page.
