The Postsecondary National Policy Institute
The leading source of professional development for current and prospective policymakers, leaders, and thinkers who work on federal higher education issues.
PNPI’s professional development briefings, boot camps, and seminars give participants an opportunity to consider a full range of higher education issues while engaging in constructive dialogue with researchers, leaders, and colleagues in the space. PNPI also hosts the PNPI Explorer, a free-to-use higher education data tool, and publishes factsheets focused on different communities of students and types of institutions. Our work is focused on keeping current and prospective policymakers informed.
