25 To Watch
In previous anniversary editions, this publication has featured accomplished and established higher education leaders of note. This time, we feature 25 up-and-coming leaders, many of whom are carrying the diversity mantle forward in an avowed commitment to progress. Narrowing the field of great academicians and advocates to just 25 was no easy task! Although this should not be construed as an exhaustive list, please allow us to introduce you to 25 people, in alphabetical order, we expect to see more of.
