In 2024, the University Innovation Alliance (UIA) celebrated a decade of transformative impact. What began in 2014 as a bold experiment by 11 universities has grown into a collaborative movement to dramatically redefine what’s possible in higher education: increased student success. We knew that graduating thousands more students would require reimagining how institutions tackle big challenges. Together, we innovated, shared knowledge, and built a culture of collaboration that now inspires change far beyond our campuses.
As we approach the University Innovation Alliance’s 10th anniversary this fall, we are excited to announce the expansion and evolution of our leadership team. Dr. Candice Staples and Betsy Davis have been elevated to senior leadership positions, and we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Devon Skerritt to our team. These strategic appointments reflect our commitment to advancing our mission of accelerating collaborative innovation to dramatically improve student outcomes across our network.
