President to President: Higher Education’s Responsibility to Generate Social Mobility

The second chapter of the 2021-2022 President to President thought leadership series is now available. In “Higher Education’s Responsibility to Generate Social Mobility,” DePaul University President A. Gabriel Esteban, Ph.D., explores how colleges can help address social inequities within education and beyond. Esteban shares strategies that have worked for his university, explaining how these initiatives support students as they work to overcome barriers and achieve their academic and professional goals.

This year's President to President series, titled “The Vitality and Power of Higher Education,” examines how colleges are approaching their missions with new vigor and re-examining their role in the community. Over the course of 10 chapters, leading college and university presidents share their perspectives on the many issues impacting higher education today, as well as their ideas for shaping the campus experience of the future. As an executive editor of the series, I look forward to bringing you fresh perspectives in a new chapter published online each month.
