The Higher Education Alliance

The Humpty Dumpty Institute officially launched its newest program The Higher Education Alliance (HEA) in 2011 in response to the growing need to globalize college campuses around the nation. This program provides academic institutions with an in-depth introduction to the United Nations, arguably one of the most potent symbols of globalism in the world today. It also provides a way to build bridges between the United Nations and large number of college and university students across the country. As part of the program, HDI facilitates lectures where speakers from the United Nations, U.N. Specialized Agencies, the United States diplomatic corps, and U.N.-related NGO’s address students and faculty. With the assistance of the Humpty Dumpty Institute, Alliance members also convene U.N.-related conferences at their campuses and visit U.N. Headquarters in New York for intensive orientations on how the U.N. actually works. Finally, select students from schools which are part of the Alliance have the opportunity to serve as interns in a variety of international organizations around the world. The Humpty Dumpty Institute is making a special effort to recruit institutions that belong to the Historically Black College and University (HBCU) network, as well as community colleges from around the nation. Currently, eight colleges and universities in nine states across the nation, with a combined student population of nearly 300,000 students, belong to HDI’s Higher Education Alliance.
