Private four year colleges are under unprecedented pressure. Hampshire College, the College of New Rochelle, Sweet Briar, Mount Ida and many others have closed, merged into other institutions, or announced their intention to "explore strategic options" in order to remain viable. Please join us to explore nature of the challenges, the possible responses and how, if at all, funders interested in college access and success should respond.
