As a new generation of higher education leaders emerges, open dialogue about taking initiative, being innovative and encouraging young talent has become a necessity. Young Professional in Higher Education (YPHE), based in Grand Rapids, MI, is a collective of professionals from area universities and colleges who organize a variety of programs each academic year. These seminars are designed to help young professionals develop, learn and network alongside their colleagues in an effort to nourish successful and satisfying careers in higher education. Whether a faculty or staff member hoping to pursue a career in higher education, we extend an open invitation to join us for programming that will help you make the most of your career.
