The New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) is a center for inquiry, research, and policy. NERCHE supports administrators, faculty, and staff across the region in becoming more effective practitioners and leaders as they navigate the complexities of institutional innovation and change. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, NERCHE continues to focus on higher education institutions as complex workplaces. NERCHE provides resources for practitioners who are exploring innovative ways to shape higher education and create opportunities for learning and applying their collective knowledge and experience. NERCHE’s research projects, programs, and activities draw upon the practitioner perspective to improve practice and to inform and influence policy, moving from the local to regional and national levels. NERCHE’s commitment to practitioner-based, applied research is organized in three major areas:

(1) Reflective Inquiry into Practice;
(2) Scholarship of Engagement; and
(3) Transitions to and Through Higher Education.
