We speak in a single voice for Higher Education Attainment in our region.

Our Mission
The Central Valley Higher Education Consortium (CVHEC) is a 501(c)3 incorporated non-profit organization comprised of accredited public and private colleges, universities, and community college district members. CVHEC was founded in 2000 by then Fresno State President John D. Welty along with 18 college and university leaders.
Today, it is a 28-member strong consortium. Jointly, the consortium members serve over 250,000 students in California’s ten-county region known as the Central Valley.
