“This is a terrific nomination for students, colleges and universities, and the entire country. President Biden could not have made a better choice.
James brings a wealth of expertise and depth of passion to the under secretary’s office. He is an innovative thinker, a deep listener, and a collaborative decision-maker. In all of his work, he has demonstrated a heartfelt commitment to ensuring that higher education is accessible to all individuals, and has worked well with the field to enable all students to succeed. We look forward to working closely with James Kvaal and his team at the Department of Education in the coming years.”
