Mission

The Executive Doctorate Alumni Advisory Board at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education seeks to engage alumni in a mutually beneficial, meaningful connection to each other and the Executive Doctorate Program, and to strengthen the network of institutions our alumni serve, while encouraging alumni support and guidance. 

 We exist to reinforce the importance of the Executive Doctorate degree and increase its brand recognition, to support the program in continued fulfillment of its mission, and to advance the nation’s leading network of higher education leaders. The Alumni Advisory Board will assist the Executive Doctorate Program in fostering a platform for lifelong-learning for alumni with the goal of enhancing their service to the institutions and communities they represent.
