Leadership Knowledge Awareness Access

Welcome to the Osiris Education Collaborative!

This site is dedicated to bringing together and providing crucial information for professionals of color within higher education. Our motto is Leadership, Knowledge, Awareness and Access. As professionals of color we have the ability to make our communities a better place for all to live. As we know knowledge is power and power is responsibility–a responsibility we have towards each other.

Leadership Knowledge Awareness Access

The Osiris Education Collaborative (OEC) was established in 2007 to provide information to individuals in the field of Higher Education. The organization was created to address the need of unified leadership amongst professionals of color throughout the country. OEC also serves as an information and research source for individuals interested in pursuing educational equality. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once stated, “true leaders not only identify problems but they also offer solutions.” By creating this online community and facilitating an exchange of research and ideas we hope to find solutions to the many problems people of color face within the field of Higher Education.
