The Joint Center for Higher Education (JCHE) coordinates baccalaureate
and graduate programs offered by public institutions in Spokane;
has fiscal and management authority over the Spokane higher education
park at Riverpoint, including development of the site's master
plan; and manages the Spokane Intercollegiate Research and Technology
Institute (SIRTI). When completed, the Riverpoint campus will
host the Spokane centers of Washington State University and Eastern
Washington University. SIRTI is a regional center fostering cooperative
efforts in applied research and technology transfer between industry
and Spokane's institutions of higher education. Sponsored by the
community colleges of Spokane, Eastern Washington University,
Gonzaga University, Washington State University, and Whitworth
College, SIRTI's mission is to improve the economic vitality of
the region by using the collective resources of these institutions
to cultivate development and commercialization of new technologies.
The goal of the JCHE is to ensure the best available higher education
programs for the citizens of Washington and to avoid duplication
of costly services.
