Welcome to the Collection! New Innovations Week of September 20, 2010

We welcome the following higher education innovations to the collection this week. Please take a moment to read about them, comment, and rate the innovations.

• The CHEA Initiative. A multi-year national conversation on the future of accreditation. The Initiative seeks to (1) enhance accountability in accreditation and (2) sustain a balance and distinction between accountability to the federal government and the academic work of accreditation.

• Green Boxes at MIT. Student-driven initaitive reducing waste in dining halls and directly addressing sustainabilty on campus through the use of environmentally friendly, reusable containers.

• CampusPhilly. For students, CampusPhilly is a great tool and resource for finding things to do and see in Philadelphia. There's a larger mission behind it, though--to stave brain drain and keep students living and working in the city when they finish college.

• GlobalCampus. Students and institutions alike can focus their search for global learning opportunities and talent in the same way that job sites help job seekers and employers connect.

Let us know if you have a suggestion for an innovation in higher education that we should be including in the collection!
