The most impactful educational experiences are those that foster collaboration, a bias towards action through experimentation, and those that attend to the social, historical, political, and personal context of our work—as well as its ethical and equitable consequences. Engage in a bold collaborative experiment to accelerate change in education.

The Coalition for Life-Transformative Education is a community of university leaders who are committed to experimenting individually and collectively, sharing best practices, and collaborating to start a movement across America to ensure that all students who enroll in college not only complete a degree, but also have a transforming educational experience that enhances their well-being and work engagement throughout life. Our intent is to build a community of like-minded institutions committed to enabling life-transformative education for all students at scale.
