In June 2024, the Academy convened its third annual Higher Education Forum in Aspen, Colorado. The meeting included more than one hundred prominent higher education experts and leaders, including leaders from Academy Affiliate institutions and Academy members.

Discussions centered around an array of topics including: the future of work, speech on campus, the changing political landscape, innovation in higher education, artificial intelligence in our world, and maintaining diversity on campus.

The Academy’s work was referenced and represented throughout the Forum, including the launch of the Commission on Opportunities After High School, which is working to ensure that students have multiple routes to success, can thrive and find rewarding jobs in an ever-changing global economy, and are empowered to actively engage in society. Members of the Academy’s Commissions on Reimagining the Economy and Accelerating Climate Action also shared resources and discussed ways in which higher education can contribute to economic connectedness and environmental sustainability.
