The University of Michigan Work Group on Organizational Change and Transformation in Higher Education is responsible for coordinating a series of scholarly and developmental activities and projects designed to support the goals of the Kellogg Forum on Higher Education Transformation:

  • Synthesizing current knowledge and developing new thinking on institutional change and transformation
  • Working with networks of institutions to facilitate their change agendas and learning processes
  • Disseminating learning about and fostering institutional change and transformation throughout higher education

In 1998 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation established the Kellogg Forum on Higher Education Transformation (KFHET) for the purpose of bringing together scholars and practioners in higher education to translate the experiences of individual campuses into learning that can be adapated and used by other higher education institutions. Members of KFHET include the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the American Council on Education (ACE), The Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) at the University of California - Los Angeles, the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) at the University of Massachusetts Boston, the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education (CSHPE) at the University of Michigan, and the five colleges and universities that make up the Kellogg Network on Institutional Transformation (KNIT) - Alverno College, the Minnesota State College and University System, Olivet College, Portland State University and the University of Arizona.
