A special recognition from their peers.
Each fall, a committee comprised of members of the AASCU Board of Directors selects an outstanding colleague to deliver the President to Presidents lecturer at the AASCU annual conference. The “P2P” lecture, as it’s affectionately called, traditionally focuses on higher ed leadership and serves to intellectually stimulate and challenge presidents and chancellors of AASCU institutions on a pressing issue of the time. The special event also serves as a tribute to each year’s honoree for their dedication and commitment to AASCU.
