Today I ran 13.1 in our nation’s capital for higher education. For the faculty. For the staff. *Above all* for the students. If you are a friend of higher ed, now is the time to stand up. Join us. Fight for it. We at ⁦@ACEducation⁩ are with you!! #HigherEdBuildsAmerica

What goes into that snazzy smartphone? "There's not one aspect of this iPhone 16 which has not been deeply empowered and enabled by, at one point or another, some academic research activity." Watch @michaelcrow make a vital point. #HigherEdBuildsAmerica youtube.com/watch?v=qqfk7-3i…

I've seen firsthand the tenacity of Danielle Douglas-Gabriel in pursuing questions about the cost and value of higher education. Her passion and expertise on this subject are formidable. Can't wait for her session next week. Join us in Washington. ow.ly/T6nX30sJNc4

We all know Sara Custer and her @insidehighered team know stuff. Lots of stuff. Very glad she'll be sharing the scoop at ACEx2025 on what keeps college and university presidents up at night. Come join us in DC in February. ow.ly/hUJZ50UsFKm

I've worked alongside @JackStripling. He is among the best in business. We're thrilled he and his @Chronicle colleagues will join us at ACEx2025 to explore the biggest of big-picture questions: What is college for? Join us this February in Washington: ow.ly/YOHQ30sIFp4

The University of Valencia is 525 years old. Wow. Look forward to hearing from its leader, Maria Vicenta Mestre Escrivà, at our gathering in Washington. Yes, #HigherEdBuildsAmerica, but it also builds crucial global relationships. Join us in February. ow.ly/jJRJ30sICLw

Looking forward to reading ⁦@DanPorterfield⁩’s new book! He gave me unfettered access to report on Franklin & Marshall a decade ago for The Washington Post, and I learned much from that experience about how #HigherEdBuildsAmerica

Halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, let's shout out America's 600 Hispanic-serving institutions. At least one-fourth of undergraduates at these colleges and universities are Hispanic. One prominent HSI, pictured here, is San Diego State University. #HigherEdBuildsAmerica

Said it before, saying it again: #HigherEdBuildsAmerica. For the second straight Sunday, we at @ACEducation have a full-page display in The New York Times. Our open letter to presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
