Jamie P. Merisotis is president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, the nation’s largest private foundation committed solely to enrolling and graduating more students from college. \u00a0Under his leadership, Lumina employs a strategic, outcomes-based approach in pursuing the Foundation\u2019s mission of expanding college access and success particularly among low-income, minority and other historically underrepresented populations. \u00a0Lumina\u2019s goal is to ensure that, by 2025, 60 percent of Americans hold high quality degrees, certificates and other credentials\u2014up from the current level of less than 40 percent.<\/p>\n

Before joining Lumina in 2008, Merisotis founded and served 15 years as president of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Higher Education Policy, one of the world\u2019s premier education research and policy centers. \u00a0He previously served as executive director of the National Commission on Responsibilities for Financing Postsecondary Education, a bipartisan commission appointed by the U.S. president and congressional leaders. Merisotis also helped create the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps), and serves on numerous national and international boards of directors, including Bates College in Maine, Anatolia College in Greece, the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, and The Children\u2019s Museum of Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
