The University Innovation Alliance is a multi-campus laboratory for student success innovation that helps university leaders dramatically accelerate the implementation of scalable solutions to increase the number and diversity of college graduates.

Founded in 2014 by a group of pioneering university chancellors and presidents committed to breaking down silos to collaboration and testing, sharing, and scaling ideas that can help more students succeed, our members span the geographic diversity of the US and enroll over 450,000 students, 170,000 of whom are students of color and 140,000 of whom are Pell recipients.

Most importantly, our campuses have increased our low-income graduates since 2014 by 46% and our graduates of color by 85%, as well as having graduated an additional 97,000 students overall.
