What Others Are Saying

We are nine leading institutions who share a commitment to excellence in academics and the notion of being leading institutions in our state and region. By working together within this consortium, we can take the strengths of all nine of our institutions and create more than any one institution can individually.

Walter Harrison, Past President, University of Hartford

This consortium will allow our colleagues across and among our campuses to have serious academic conversations where there are commonalities. No one institution may be able to have a full competency or capacity in every area, but by sharing resources in a joint venture, much more can be achieved.

Thomas Sullivan, Past President, University of Vermont

Through collaboration and cooperation, the consortium will facilitate the development of academic programming that will benefit all members of the America East academic and administrative communities.
