Our History

EDUCAUSE strategic partnerships allow us to broaden our reach and enrich our programs in ways that advance the association’s core mission, goals, and strategic priorities. Strategic partners may be individuals, associations, institutions, corporations, foundations, or other organizations, worldwide. EDUCAUSE partnerships have helped to advance our field:

  • Student Success—Clarifying the uses and challenges of data and analytics
  • Teaching and Learning—Contributing to a collaboration to build higher education’s capabilities to apply XR technologies in teaching
  • Executive Collaboration—Co-hosted events to foster greater understanding between IT and higher education executives
  • Digital Transformation—Raising awareness about how digital transformation can benefit higher education
  • Analytics Progress—Helping institutional leaders make progress on analytics

 

"EDUCAUSE is an association in every way powered by relationships. We depend on hundreds of volunteers every year to make the kind of difference we do, and we know that partnerships with other organizations are more important than ever before. We can do more together than we can do alone—and there's much more we want to accomplish in the years ahead for the members we serve."
John O'Brien, President and CEO, EDUCAUSE
