This movement, uniting colleges and universities nationwide, is dedicated to fostering equity and amplifying student voices in education. As a large, diverse alliance, REP4 utilizes the power of collective action to implement and scale successful solutions quickly. By leading the charge, REP4 orchestrates transformative design experiences for diverse high school and college students, allowing them to ideate and prototype the future of higher education. the voice of students is a key GlobalMindED value and one of the main reasons why the REP4 and GlobalMindED partnership is so powerful. You will meet many of the featured speakers of this event live at GlobalMindED in June.
You can watch the REP4 National Convening: A Worthy Disruption, where learners from across the country articulated their journeys of educational empowerment through REP4, delivering insights into the impact of educational innovation, acknowledging the collective effort in creating enduring change and nurturing the country's talent pool. GlobalMindED was thrilled to feature Dr. Mantella at the GlobalMindED/FSUN event on October 12 at the United Nations where she shared the REP4 goals and deliverables. This June, GlobalMindED will welcome REP4 students, faculty leaders, and college presidents to the national and global stage in Denver where you can meet them and learn from them in person.

“We are inspired by young learners with keen perspectives on what their future can be. These learners gave us ideas that will play a key role as we lead the national conversation on a new vision for education. Their insights will help us create a model for an education system designed for learners by learners.”
- Philomena V. Mantella, President, Grand Valley State University

“Students come to college with a diverse array of prior experiences. If universities are to truly provide an inclusive educational environment that fosters belonging, we must take into account students’ unique backgrounds, listen acutely to students’ voices, and develop a clear understanding of all students’ expectations and preparedness for college. REP4 provides a platform that allows Shippensburg University to promote meaningful conversations with future students and an opportunity to bridge the gap between high school and higher education.”
- Charles E. Patterson, President, Shippensburg University

“Students have powerful insights about how to improve their experience and innovate around education. Learning from them will help us, and all of higher education, imagine new ways of moving forward together.”
- Marlene Tromp, President, Boise State University

“Our university’s mission has long included making education relevant, impactful and accessible for students. Collaborating with other like-minded institutions across the nation will provide a tremendous opportunity to shift the paradigm of how we approach learning, particularly for underrepresented communities”
- Paul A. Jones, President, Fort Valley State University
|
|
“Together, as REP4 partner institutions, we are engaging students in real-world projects and serving as a national model in the areas of student success and social mobility. We are building on the important work already in place and moving to new heights through innovation, collaboration and inclusion.”
- Ellen J. Neufeldt, President, California State University San Marcos

“CSCU seeks to advance equity and justice through educational opportunities. As the first statewide system of public higher education to partner with REP4, we are proud to be advancing those ideals by empowering students to innovate and truly have a voice in their own education. We look forward to working with our fellow member institutions to drive positive, student-led change and improve our system of higher education as a whole.”
-Terrence Cheng, Chancellor, Connecticut State Colleges and Universities

“The solutions to many of the challenges in higher education are found in those closest to the problem. The student who navigates our ecosystems can articulate where it does not work for them. Inviting the student to the table to unpack problems and design solutions creates synergy. At Amarillo College we use this strategy to engage our students to redesign our systems and supports. REP4 is an accelerator in this space through which campus leaders – employees and students - collaborate to develop and disseminate scalable strategies to improve student experiences and outcomes.”
- Denese Skinner, Interim President, Amarillo College

“REP4 is an inspiring model for reimagining higher education designed by students for students. I believe these student-centered innovations have the profound potential to transform the lives of learners, driving opportunity not only for themselves but also for their families, communities, and societies. As a comprehensive technology university committed to expanding and fueling student access and success, we are honored to participate in the REP4 alliance.”
- Raj Echambadi, President, Illinois Institute of Technology
