Celebrating 25 Years

A message from our Co-Founders, John N. Gardner and Betsy O. Barefoot, and CEO Drew Koch
Since 1999, we have been enhancing the undergraduate experience and expanding our efforts to address various factors to improve student success. In collaboration with colleges, universities, philanthropic organizations, educators, and other entities, we continue our commitment to achieving equity and social justice in higher education. We would like to express our gratitude to our partners, including over 680 institutions, that have trusted the Gardner Institute to help improve student success for all students.
