About our Team

This web page presents the CVHEC team of higher education professionals: 11-members who lend their energy, enthusiasm and experience to enhance student success and achievement throughout the region by collaborating with the consortium’s member institutions and the CVHEC Board of Directors.

Many are retired from careers dedicated to serving students at their respective institutions of higher education – a service that now continues through CVHEC.
