Campus Consortium is the largest global education association of schools, colleges and universities. Campus Consortium advocates community engagement and best practice sharing through Webinars, EdTalks, Peer Reviews, Conferences and Consulting Services. These activities have helped thousands of leaders, educators, working professionals and students in the education and government domain globally. The true spirit of the consortium is not only lived by the people working in the organization, but also by those who are associated and affiliated by the consortium.

 Dedicated to aid higher education at crucial steps where they often falter, Campus Consortium strengthens them through its technology partners. Campus Consortium’s community brings on board thought leadership and experts to help improve enrollment, retention, student engagement and IT services within the higher educational sphere.

 Campus Consortium is the only leading organization that supports higher education entities with Grant Programs that funds institutions with a smaller IT budget to implement IT products and services.

 Campus Consortium was founded by fourteen institutions in 2003 in response to increasing IT budget cuts, resource constraints, and the needs of incoming students. Among the founding universities are the University of Montana;[2] the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and Oklahoma State University.[3]

Leadership

Anjli Jain is the Chairman of Campus Consortium. After finishing her formal education at Barnard College at Columbia University, she was recruited by the fourteen colleges and universities that established the Campus Consortium. Anjli Jain was born in New Delhi, India, grew up in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and is a member of the Greater Cleveland YWCA Board of Directors.[4] She has also been a panelist at the Women's Leadership Forum at Notre Dame College.[5] In 2011, Ms. Jain was a recipient of the Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club's Northeast Ohio Top 25 Under 35 Movers & Shaker Award.[6]

Programs and Initiatives

The Campus Consortium offers Grant Programs towards a variety of products and services. These Higher Education Grants were created to give Institutions with a smaller IT Budget a chance to implement new technology services and reap the benefits.

Philanthropy

Since its founding in 2003, Campus Consortium has provided information technology grants to higher education institutions and public sector agencies through its Grant Program. The Campus Grant Program is designed for institutions seeking to implement an internet/intranet Portal. Recipients of the grant receive financial and organizational assistance in integrating a portal into existing systems and protocols for online and distance education, SIS software and administrative computing, school and organization web properties, student-based web publishing, wireless and e-commerce initiatives.

Recipients of the Campus Grant include:

In February 2010, the Campus Grant Program was featured as part of the White House Initiative on historically black colleges and universities.[16] The initiative was established in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter as a federal program to help historically black colleges and universities overcome the effects of discriminatory treatment and provide quality education. The program exists today to help strengthen the capacity of historically black colleges and universities to provide excellence in education.
