The Institute of Higher Education celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding with a series of events throughout the 2014-2015 academic year. Highlights included a roundtable discussion of contemporary higher education research in September that brought noted scholars from across the country to campus, and a three-day closing conference in March. Keynoters at the conference were Houston Davis, executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer of the University System of Georgia, who addressed higher education issues at the state level, and Richard Rhoda, executive director emeritus of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, who discussed challenges at the national level. The 50th anniversary events drew IHE alumni students, former faculty, fellows and friends, who gathered with current faculty and staff to celebrate the Institute’s history and chart a path for the future.
