The problems in public higher education are too complex to solve alone
The REP4 Alliance is a powerful network of regional and national education, industry, and technology leaders, led by the seven higher education partners. The alliance works together to guide learners along their transformative journeys, provide expertise, test prototypes, implement ideas, and shape the future of REP4.
Grand Valley State University, REP4's organizer and convener, is the founding Midwest partner. The seven other founding partners are: Amarillo College, a community college in Texas; Boise State University, a Research II university in Idaho; California State University San Marcos, an HSI (Hispanic-Serving Institution) and AANAPISI (Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution) in California; Connecticut State Colleges and Universities, a system of 17 public colleges and universities; Fort Valley State University, an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) in Georgia; Illinois Institute of Technology, a technology-focused university in Chicago and Shippensburg University, part of the state system in Pennsylvania.
“Educating a diverse student population for professional success and civic engagement is part of our core mission. Students need to feel ownership of their own learning, but often traditional practices and requirements stifle their participation. We believe REP4 will empower students to create a climate in which all students feel a sense of belonging.”
- Mary A. Papazian, former President, San José State University
