Overview:

As part of the University of Rochester and the Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development (WGSEHD), the Higher Education Student Association (HESA) is committed to a pursuit of excellence for all students interested in the field of higher education administration (HEA). Established in 2006, the HESA was created to foster a sense of community among HEA students, alumni, and faculty; to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on current issues in higher education; and to provide opportunities for professional and personal development.

• Academic and professional development for students;
• Awareness of Warner's programs within the school, university at-large, and across the country; and
• The overall mission of the Warner School of Education.

Our Goals:
