The Gallup Purdue Index, “the first measure to evaluate the long-term success of graduates in their pursuit of great jobs and great lives,” is published.

Twenty leaders from colleges and universities nationwide gather to review and interpret Gallup data, forming what would become The Coalition for Transformational Education.

A Founding Document is drafted to articulate purpose and necessity of the Coalition.

The first Leaders’ Meeting of the Coalition is held, featuring a presentation by Dan Porterfield, President and CEO of The Aspen Institute.

The Coalition hosts its first National Conference virtually, featuring presentations by Laurie Santos, Yale University psychology professor and happiness researcher, and Jonathan Lee Walton, social ethicist and President of the Princeton Theological Seminary.

The Coalition hosts its second National Conference – featuring presentations by Bill Burnett, Executive Director of Stanford University’s Life Design Lab; Robert Waldinger, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development; Lynn Pasquerella, President of the Association of American Colleges and Universities; and Nancy Gonzales, Executive Vice President and Provost at Arizona State University.

LearningWell Magazine, a digital publication covering issues at the intersection of higher education and lifelong wellbeing, is launched.

The Coalition’s third National Conference (Making Higher Education Work for Life) is hosted – featuring Corey Keyes, Professor of Sociology at Emory University and pioneer in positive psychology; Wendy Suzuki, Dean at NYU College of Arts and Sciences and mental health expert; and Paul Tough, New York Times bestselling author and journalist.
