Following a thoughtful and collaborative process, College Possible is excited to announce that five senior executives have joined its national board of directors. The national board are critical advisors to the health and sustainability of the organization. In expanding its board, College Possible aimed to recruit members that represent a diversity of experience, expertise and perspectives that will help it continually adapt to the evolving needs of students, while strengthening its ability to close the access and attainment gap through strategic partnerships and critical insights.

Our New National Board Members Include:

With these new appointments, the College Possible national board now has representation from four university presidents, including schools with a history of College Possible program implementation and/or strategic priorities for improving completion rates among underrepresented groups. These leaders will continue to serve as critical advisors to inform holistic program evolution, helping ensure high-impact investments and innovation to achieve better outcomes and success for students.

Further, with the appointments from Common App, AstrumU, and the Co-Founder of College Forward, College Possible is expanding its capacity to leverage strategic partnerships in service of closing the access and attainment gap. These leaders join a talented and experienced group of leaders committed to the College Possible mission and the value of empowering a diverse population with a college degree and a path to economic mobility.
