Leadership Driving ATI’s Progress
ATI’s progress is possible because of the institutional leaders that commit to accelerating opportunity and increasing access and success for talented lower-income students. ATI is led by a Steering Committee of public and private ATI presidents as well as representatives from the managing organizations. They include:
Chris Eisgruber
Juan Sánchez Muñoz
Ángel Cabrera
Kathleen Harring
Paula Johnson
Robert Jones
Eric F. Spina
Martin Kurzweil
Daniel R. Porterfield
Joshua Wyner
Co-Leads
ATI’s progress would not be possible without day-to-day support and strategic guidance from representatives of the managing organizations. They include:
Tania LaViolet
Elizabeth Davidson Pisacreta
Main Point of Contacts
Each ATI member president selects a campus team to operationalize their access and success-related vision and support initiative-wide activities. These include “main points of contact,” institutional leaders in admissions, enrollment, financial aid, and/or student success.
ATI has convened a Main Point of Contact advisory committee to structure the highest-impact activities for leaders from across the initiative, surface best practices to accelerate progress, and foster connections among peers. The Main Point of Contact Advisory Committee includes:
Kathryn Bezella
Boyd Bradshaw
Denise Beautreau
Matt Bonser
Nakeisha Cody
Jody Greene
Shanna Jaggars
David Johnson
Derek Kindle
Ashley Paille
Jason Reinoehl
Susan Kapp
Communications Leads
Each ATI member also appoints a communications lead to their campus team to elevate the access and success-work they are leading at their institutions. By amplifying promising practices, we can help other institutions across the field strengthen their support of lower-income students.
With the support of a Communications Advisory Board, ATI also advances one of its major areas of focus; a sustained national campaign to raise awareness about the incredible talent across our communities and underscore the need to broaden opportunity and postgraduate success. The Communications Advisory Board currently is comprised of:
Ben Chang
James Chiavelli
Julie Flory
Michael Hotchkiss
Mark Johnson
Robin Kaler
Sheri Ledbetter
Beth Marmarelli
Meagan Pant
Cristina Sotolongo
Academic Equity Community of Practice Advisory Team
ATI launched an Academic Equity Community of Practice in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic to help create inclusive academic and cultural experiences for students and support widespread retention and completion. Dozens of institutions engage in this community of practice now and a core group of ATI members lead this work, including:
