Greetings!

As we begin a new year, WittKieffer remains committed to partnering with you to navigate the evolving challenges of enrollment leadership in higher education.

There’s a lot happening at WittKieffer—and we’re thrilled to share it with you.

Leadership Advisory Solutions

Beyond placing exceptional leaders, we help strengthen leadership teams through our Leadership Advisory services. Our team of seasoned higher education practitioners—including our newest Senior Advisor, Kasey Urquídez, Ed.D., former enrollment leader at the University of Arizona—offers expertise in:

Leadership advising and assessment
Team development and succession planning
Board and senior team education … and more

Interim Leadership Solutions

During these turbulent times, the need for interim executives or on-demand (i.e., project-specific) leadership arises unexpectedly. WittKieffer provides comprehensive solutions to deliver desired outcomes that enable institutions to move forward despite ongoing market, financial, and operational pressures.
