Job Description

The University Innovation Alliance (UIA) is the leading consortium of large public research universities working together to improve outcomes for low-income, first-generation, and students of color. The UIA is designed, organized, and led by our member institutions’ presidents and chancellors. Together, we draw from every region in the country and span the spectrum of U.S. public research universities, from emergent institutions to land grant universities and state flagships.

Since its launch in 2014, the UIA has transformed a theoretical concept for collaboration into a nationally recognized community of practice that is driving both institutional transformation and improved student outcomes. Our work is based on the simple proposition that when universities share ideas, experiences, and challenges, and work together, they can accelerate innovations that help students graduate with a college degree. Today, our institutions are on track to graduate an additional 136,000 students by 2025, and have increased the number of collective annual degrees awarded to students from low-income backgrounds by 36 percent and 73 percent for students of color.
