This report summarizes the programmatic and advocacy activities which, driven by our strategic priorities, enabled the Council to serve our nearly 2,000 members nationwide during this period of multiple challenges and great opportunities for the entire higher education community. The Center for Education Attainment and Innovation (CEAI) worked throughout 2014 on initiatives aimed at supporting the goal of increasing the number of Americans able to earn a college degree or credential. Among CEAI’s focuses last year was operating and expanding the ACE College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT®) in ways that help nontraditional learners speed their path to completing a postsecondary education. ACE strives to continually enhance its premier suite of leadership development programming, which is aimed at providing a continuum of services and initiatives to higher education leaders at all stages of their careers, from aspiring administrators to chief academic officers to presidents and chancellors. The Division of Leadership Programs also assisted the Association of Chief Academic Officers (ACAO) as ACAO continued to develop following the election of its first board of directors and officers at the 2014 ACE Annual Meeting. The Center for Policy Research and Strategy worked during 2014 on initiatives to heighten the prominence of the ACE research brand along two dimensions: its historical industry trend analyses and, taking on a new direction, thought leadership on evidence-based change. The Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement continues to provide in-depth analysis of critical international education issues, and to administer programs and services in support of higher education institutions’ internationalization and global engagement strategies. Through its seats on the testing service’s board of directors, ACE continues to provide direction and oversight to the GED Testing Service, which was created in 2011 as a joint venture between ACE and Pearson. The new GED® Program, including the new computer-based GED® test, is a comprehensive, learner-centered program designed to help more adults prepare for and earn high school credentials, as well as prepare for success in college and careers. ACE’s advocacy at the federal level, encompassing Congress, the administration, and the courts, ensures that the voice of American higher education is part of important policy conversations that impact students, families, and institutions. The successes of the American Council on Education are only possible with the support of our members and supporters, for which we are deeply grateful.

American Council on Education 1 2014 Activities

As the nation’s most influential, respected, and visible higher education association, the American Council on Education (ACE) represents the presidents and chancellors of two- and four-year public and private colleges and universities. No other association represents the broad interests of higher education’s top leaders like ACE does. The Council convenes the higher education community and its membership—ACE member institutions serve 80 percent of today’s college students—to collectively tackle the toughest higher education challenges. Higher education is Amer- ica’s best hope for long-term economic growth and social progress, and ACE’s core objective is to advance activities that support institutions, students, faculty, and staff. In 2014, ACE pursued that objective by working on behalf of its members in the following areas.
