The New England Higher Education Excellence Awards recognize individuals and institutions that have made substantive contributions to improving higher education opportunities for New England students. This is the only regional higher education awards program in New England.

The culminating evening in NEBHE’s 50th Anniversary Year, the event will provide a rare opportunity for leaders and decision-makers from New England's business, government, education and nonprofit communities to share in an evening of celebration and networking.
