Please join us in welcoming Kristina “KP” Powers, Ph.D. to the Saybrook University Board of Trustees.
A nationally recognized higher education strategist and board advisor, KP Powers brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in institutional effectiveness, finance, governance, and higher education strategy. As the creator of the Powers Index of College & University Performance™ and host of the EdUp Institutional Effectiveness podcast, her work has helped colleges and universities strengthen and advance student success.
“Saybrook University has championed humanistic education for more than 50 years, and that mission has never been more relevant than it is today,” shared Dr. Powers. “At a moment when technology is reshaping how we live and work, Saybrook’s deep commitment to human connection, meaning, and whole-person development is exactly what the world needs from higher education.”
We are honored to welcome Dr. Powers to the Board as we continue advancing Saybrook’s mission and shaping the future of transformative, human-centered education.
