J-WEL Higher Education members address key university goals, with MIT input, and join a community united in the mission to transform education.
. . 
Higher Education is central to creating a knowledge economy and critical for a country's economic development. Tertiary education provides students access to knowledge that uncovers their talents, developing competencies for meaningful careers and provides a framework for researchers to understand and solve the greatest challenges facing their society. The demand for Higher Education is also rapidly expanding across the globe, while, simultaneously, the face of the workforce is changing, requiring universities to innovate and transform.
J-WEL Higher Education works with members in high-impact ways by creating personalized engagements with MIT based on five themes: Curriculum & Pedagogy; Digital & Online Learning; University Strategy & Structure; Research Practice; Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

A sampling of current university members goals include:
- Integrating active learning into undergraduate courses
