September 2018
In 2005, the Cherry Commission report set an agenda for Michigan higher education attainment. In 2014, after a 10-year hiatus, stakeholders in Michigan’s decentralized higher education policy community voluntarily rejoined with the Governor, Key Cabinet Agencies, and the Michigan Department of Education to form the Michigan Higher Education Roundtable (MIHEART), to take stock of progress and lay out a blueprint for continued action. “Total Talent” released in September 2018 lays out Michigan’s talent attainment progress and accomplishments to date, looks ahead and offers a new call to action and an ambitious state agenda for ensuring all our citizens get the education and skills to succeed in the economy of today and tomorrow.
