Our inaugural State of Higher Education event focuses on the mission, vision, data and strategic goals for the future of higher education across Madison County. It will feature the presidents of each school: Calhoun Community College, Drake State Community & Technical College, Alabama A&M University, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Attracting and retaining post-secondary talent is critical to our community’s long-term talent and economic development success. This event will highlight the post-secondary education and training programs across our community that are preparing students for long-term impact in their careers and in our region. This is an opportunity for the business community to hear directly from higher education partners about programs and partnerships with their institutions.
