The Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan, based in Lansing, is a nonprofit higher education association serving Michigan's 15 state universities. Each year, Michigan's public universities serve about 280,000 students, focusing on the delivery of excellent undergraduate and graduate education and equal educational opportunity.
The primary mission of the Presidents Council is to advocate higher education as a public good and to promote its collective value in serving the public interest and the State of Michigan.
Through the leadership of the presidents and chancellors of Michigan's 15 public universities and the support of the association's staff, the Presidents Council fulfills its primary mission by:
* articulating how the state universities serve the public good through educational, social, and economic development;
* providing research and information services to advance the policy and resource needs of the state universities;
* enhancing the ability of the state universities to achieve effective institutional performance, autonomous governance and public accountability; and
* convening forums of diverse stakeholders to develop a shared perspective on the value of public investment in higher education and the contributions of the state universities.
