IBHE has been supporting higher education in Illinois for more than 50 years. We are a dedicated team of professionals,
overseen by a Board appointed by the Governor, working for a strong, equitable higher education system, which we believe
is essential for the state to thrive. We work with leaders in colleges, universities, state and federal government agencies,
governors, legislators, and other entities to strategically further this mission.
