Champions in Higher Education of XR (CHEX) is a consortium of higher education Immersive Learning Research Network that brings together both administrators as well as faculty/staff grassroots leaders who are championing the adoption and use of XR and immersive technologies at colleges, universities, and college/university systems around the world. Many of these champions have oversight of XR initiatives at a campus, institution, or system-wide level (whether as part of their official job responsibilities or in a voluntary capacity), the scope of which may encompass some or all of the following:

• Design, development, and delivery of XR-related academic courses and programs;
• Application of XR technologies for learning, teaching, and assessment within and across various disciplines;
• XR research, development, innovation, and commercialization;
• Use of XR in other areas of higher education such as marketing/outreach, student services, and the library.
