"Nearly three decades ago, I went to graduate school at Indiana University with many brilliant people who have remained amazing friends. We motivated each other then and have consistently reciprocated inspiration along our professional paths. These dear friends are now in high-impact roles in our field. For example, one is vice president for student life at the University of Oregon. Another is an education school dean. Two are provosts at historically black universities."
"Brian K. Bridges is one of those friends and colleagues. In my early 20s, I looked up to him, somewhat like a big, but only slightly older brother. I have continued to be in awe and inspired by his character, achievements and enormous contributions to higher education. After earning our doctorates in 2003, Brian went on to a fantastic trio of administrative roles at the American Council on Education, Ohio University (where he was vice provost)"
Several Indiana University graduate peers hold high-impact roles, including vice president for student life, an education school dean, two provosts at historically Black universities, and a tenured UCLA professor who was the first Black woman president of the Association for the Study of Higher Education and a National Academy of Education inductee. Brian K. Bridges earned a doctorate in 2003 and served in senior administrative roles at the American Council on Education, Ohio University as vice provost, and the United Negro College Fund as Vice President before becoming New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education.
