The Yes We Must Coalition strives to increase degree attainment of low-income students by promoting the work of small, independent, not-for-profit colleges and universities and others committed to this purpose.
We are building momentum for collaboration among member institutions that crosses institutional identity in order to understand what is being done right, what more can be done, and how an effective, collective voice can be developed to promote the success of low-income/1st generation students. With support from foundations including the Walmart Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and Lumina Foundation, the Coalition has created a strategic plan and held a first national conference, Fulfilling Our Responsibility: Higher Education for the New Student Majority, in 2014.
