Our Case Studies

At the heart of our work is a commitment to empowering higher education institutions to overcome challenges and deliver transformative learning experiences. Across diverse projects, we have collaborated with universities and colleges to streamline operations, enhance student success, modernize online learning, and drive innovation in teaching and advising. Each case study reflects our dedication to efficiency, effectiveness, and affordability, showcasing tailored solutions that align with institutional missions while fostering growth, engagement, and excellence in education.

Talking During Recess

A four-year public university in the West partnered with our Associates to modernize its orientation and course registration process. The institution, facing an outdated system, inconsistent support, and staff demands, sought an affordable solution to serve its diverse incoming students better. Our redesign preserved the core of their onboarding program while improving efficiency and the student experience.​

Study Group

A small public college on the East Coast partnered with our team to optimize its mentoring programs spread across multiple divisions. Faced with operational silos, inequitable student access, and inconsistent training, the institution aimed to create a unified, collaborative mentoring framework. Our work focused on enhancing retention and engagement by addressing these challenges and supporting the college’s diverse student body.

Group Bonding

A faith-based university with a strong mission partnered with our team to enhance its first-year experience and orientation programs. Facing challenges like decentralized coordination, inconsistent outcomes, and equity gaps, the institution sought actionable solutions. Our comprehensive review delivered recommendations to create a more inclusive, cohesive, and impactful transition for new students and their families.

College Classroom

A community college in the rural South collaborated with our team to revitalize its orientation and transition programs. Facing declining enrollment and retention rates, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the college sought solutions to better support its diverse population, including first-generation, working adult, and non-traditional students.

College Friends

A four-year, mid-sized public university on the East Coast partnered with our team to strengthen its Intercultural Affairs (IA) unit. Facing challenges like siloed operations, inconsistent programming, and low student engagement, the institution sought actionable solutions.  Our review delivered recommendations to create a more unified, visible, and impactful support system for its diverse student population.

College Students in Campus

A private, faith-based university in the Midwest partnered with our team to evaluate and strengthen its Housing Department in anticipation of a new three-year residency requirement. Faced with rising student mental health needs, reduced staffing, and a disconnect between mission and operations, the University sought to realign its residential life model with institutional values. Our review delivered actionable strategies to enhance crisis response, reimagine staffing, and integrate faith development—laying the foundation for a more inclusive, mission-centered residential experience.
