African-Americans in Louisiana Higher Education (AALHE) was born from the need for university and college professionals to have a mechanism to enhance their professional development and network with others throughout the state.
 
 

The mission of African-Americans in Louisiana Higher Education is to enhance the professional development of its membership by:

B) Promoting the higher education profession

C) Improving the skills of higher education professionals

D) Promoting and supporting public policy and legislation which enhances the higher education profession

E) Contributing to the advancement and dissemination of research and knowledge in higher education

Members of AALHE include university and college professionals in administrative, faculty, and staff positions who are utilizing their education to promote equality for African-Americans, to promote education and self-development, to work towards positive societal change, and to serve as positive role models for students.
 
 

Membership in AALHE is open to anyone who is employed in the university/college system, which includes foundations, boards, and institutes. In principle and practice, we value and work toward a diverse membership. Membership is not by invitation, but rather by the desire to join an organization that offers programs that foster personal-growth by enhancing skills and making significant contributions to society.
