Chancellor Greenstein’s Blog

Entering into a new calendar year affords an opportunity to reflect on higher education – our shared practice,
mission, and passion. Such reflection occupied a good deal of my time during the recent holiday break. In my
latest blog post, "Amid the national higher ed swirl, we stand together [passhe.us9.list-manage.com]," I discuss
how PASSHE universities are continuing to respond to the changing needs of students and employers, and how we
are constantly looking for new ways to help us fulfill our mission.
