The Kellogg Presidents' Commission

The Kellogg Commission (http://www.intervisage.com/Kellogg/) will help define the direction public universities should go in the future and will recommend an action agenda to speed up the process of change. William C. Richardson, president and CEO of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, awarded NASULGC a $1.2 million grant to fund the new 25-member presidential commission (http://www.intervisage.com/Kellogg/COMMISSION/index.asp). "By supporting the Kellogg Commission, the Foundation hopes to spark a movement that will encourage much needed reforms in this sector of American higher education," Richardson told the commission at its first meeting.

The Kellogg Commission have identified five major issues and are preparing reports for each issue:

The Student Experience - place the student experience-graduate and undergraduate, traditional and non-tradition-at the heart of institutional concerns.

Engaged institutions - going beyond extension to become more productively involved with our communities.

A Learning Society - creating an America that encourages learning throughout life.
Campus Culture - redefining excellence through the prism of this new agenda.
