The Stormcenter is a new initiative at the National Forum, with the generous support of the Ford Foundation.  The project, which is still in its theoretical and conceptual development stages, will provide a flexible platform for leaders to network with others in addressing complex challenges in modern higher education.  The Stormcenter grows out of our tradition of work on access to higher education and our commitment to providing tools that enhance leaders’ ability to create positive change in their institution.  In the coming months, the Stormcenter will develop into a powerful tool for leaders and scholars of higher education.
