About NOCHE
The Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education (NOCHE) has promoted the region’s colleges and universities and the talent they produce for more than half a century. Its driving mission is to mobilize the region’s higher education and business communities for collaborative action to advance the region’s growth and development. NOCHE’s membership consists of public and private two- and four-year colleges and universities in a fourteen-county region in Northeast Ohio. The Board consists of the presidents of these institutions and a comparable number of business leaders from across the region.
NOCHE has three areas of focus:
Public Policy Advocacy
Engaging higher education and business leaders to positively impact higher education and economic development.
Access and Aspiration
Generating greater support for and participation in higher education.
Talent Development
Strengthening the alignment between higher education and business to produce and retain more college graduates.
