Meeting our Mission
NCHEA’s key goals are to foster collaboration among college and university educators and ensure seamless transfer from lower to upper-division programs between our institutions. We aim to achieve this by helping to improve communication among staff and students at our three institutions.
To this end, NCHEA offers a number of avenues to encourage and support collaboration.
Collaboration Grants
