About

Experienced Practitioners

A minority-owned consulting firm with over 45 years in combined experience in DEI, student success, academic affairs, and higher education leadership.

Genuine Partnerships

We are not your average consulting firm. We want to do more than just give reports and make recommendations. We are committed to helping implement real change. 

Real Passion

We are dedicated to student success in both our personal and professional lives. Helping students reach their potential and impact system change is our lifelong mission. 

Comprehensive Solutions.

From recruitment/admissions to graduation, from curriculum to experiential learning, from policies, processes, and procedures, we understand the full complexity of student success.

A non-traditional consulting model.

We assess, recommend, implement, evaluate, and coach to ensure success. We will not just deliver a recommendation report and leave. We are hands-on and interested in seeing projects through from beginning to end.

Why Choose Us?

We are researchers & practitioners.

We know how to cultivate buy-in, eliminate silos, and connect with every stakeholder in the campus community.

We have practical DEI
experience.

We have worked with large populations of marginalized students in HBCUs and PWIs. We can help institutions create a campus culture that supports success for all students.

Our holistic approach equals greater value.

Most firms take a one-sided approach to student success and may offer add-on services to consult on different institutional areas. A whole-institutional strategy comes standard in our work.

We Love Our Clients
