Leadership in Higher Education

The Arizona Board of Regents has been awarded a $1.5 million grant by the Lumina Foundation. This grant, which spans four years, enables the regents to move forward on an initiative to create a new funding formula for higher education and to expand lower cost options for delivering bachelor’s degree programs. This was a highly competitive process, and Arizona was one of seven states selected to receive the grant throughout the nation.

Katherine "Kate" Linder, Administrative Assistant in the Academic and Student Affairs area of the central office is awarded the 2008 Commitment to Excellence Award. Described by her nominators as "a quiet leader who leads by example...a team player who gets along well with both internal and external colleagues," Kate exemplifies the qualities basic to this award.
Joel Sideman, Executive Director
