Good afternoon, everyone! To all the college presidents and leaders here today: thank you for coming. It’s even worse when you lose your luggage or have cancellations, which I know many of you did.
Traveling to Washington in the final weeks of summer is a big ask. Some of you even canceled vacations to be here. If you need an apology note for your spouse, let me know.
I strongly felt this summit – on raising the bar for equity and inclusive student success – deserved more than a Zoom call.
