2nd Annual Ohio College Presidents Conference
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will host his second annual college presidents conference in Washington, D.C. with more than 45 other presidents’ from colleges and universities across Ohio on Wednesday April 1st, 2009. In addition to meeting with Brown, the presidents will meet with Arne Duncan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), the Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety, and U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), a former U.S. Education Secretary and college president.
“This conference is about crafting education policy in Washington that meets the needs of Ohio’s students and reflects the input of its colleges and universities,” said Brown. “By bringing together the presidents of Ohio’s institutions of higher education—both large and small, two-year and four-year—we all benefit. Last year, presidents shared best practices and began meeting regionally after the conference.”
