Higher Education Consortium of Metro St. Louis

About

Higher Education Consortium of Metropolitan St. Louis In 1962, a group of college and university Chancellors and Presidents from the St. Louis metropolitan area agreed that there was a need for coordination through discussion on issues that affect higher education institutions and provide a representative voice for metropolitan St. Louis higher education. From that meeting the Higher Education Coordinating Council of Metropolitan St. Louis (HECC) was formed and incorporated in 1964. HECC is also known as Higher Education Consortium of Metropolitan St. Louis (HEC). The areas of cooperation among St. Louis colleges and universities during the early years of HEC included educational television, international education, college admissions, women's issues, theatre, off-campus employment opportunities through cooperative educational, inter-library loans and graduate education. The Higher Education Consortium of Metropolitan St. Louis mission is to advance communication and cooperative activities among member institutions, secondary schools, related community organizations and individuals; to provide member colleges and universities the opportunity to meet to discuss topics of interest; and to collaborate on projects designed to enhance student’s accessibility to as well as their achievement in higher education. HEC’s vision is to continue to provide discussion among higher education institutions, secondary schools and related community and business organizations of metropolitan St. Louis on how to meet the demands that confront higher education and to explore avenues that provide educational opportunity for all.
