IHEP

Past Academies

The Summer Academy was first launched by the former American Association for Higher Education in 1996. Since assuming management of the well-established Summer Academy in 2005, the Institute for Higher Education Policy has refined the event’s theme from a broad focus on organization change to its current, more specific, focus on organizational change to improve student access and success. The Summer Academy reflects the IHEP’s commitment to providing a forum for strategic and intellectual exchanges within and across institutions striving to help create stronger pathways for student access and success in college.

The Summer Academy is held in locations that showcase the MSI communities with whom IHEP works. Past destinations include a variety of cities and regions such as Rio Grande, Puerto Rico; Birmingham, Alabama; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; and Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico.
