Dear Friends,
I am pleased to present the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities’ 2018 Annual Report. In 2018, APLU helped lead an array of projects and initiatives centered on the three pillars of our agenda:
Expanding access and improving student success to deliver the innovative workforce of tomorrow;
Advancing and promoting research and discovery to improve society, foster economic growth, and address global challenges; and
Building healthy, prosperous, equitable, and vibrant communities locally and globally.
With dynamics in Washington changing on an almost daily basis, APLU has a strong presence on Capitol Hill and with federal agencies. With the active engagement of its members, APLU is a leading voice on research and higher education issues as well as on immigration policies that support public universities’ mission.
But our work extends far beyond federal policy. Backed by a strong team of policy analysts and innovative leaders in higher education, APLU effectively operates as a “think-and-do tank.” We don’t just develop innovative policies that advance public universities’ education, research, and engagement missions; we work with members to design innovative approaches and then partner with members to ensure our ideas don’t collect dust on a shelf.
It was a busy 2018, and we have no plans to slow down. We know 2019 will be demanding, but it will also provide opportunities. We’ve seen time and again the power of public universities to change the course of students’ lives, to tackle society’s most vexing problems, and to revitalize the communities that others had long ago forgotten.
I hope you enjoy reading about our work in 2018, but stay tuned because the best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
Peter McPherson
