We take a systems-level approach that focuses on faculty and staff teams rather than relying on isolated programs. Our model integrates student belonging research with evidence-based practices in organizational effectiveness and workplace psychology. Instead of simply adding new initiatives, we help institutions:
A future where leaders and educators see students and each other holistically and approach their work with clarity and purpose.
We strengthen higher education institutions by cultivating belonging, optimizing student pathways, and enhancing the learning experience through human-centered approaches.
We have over 50 years of combined experience as faculty and leaders. We apply our training as researchers to uncover meaningful insights about learning and the student experience.
