Consulting Services for Higher Ed Institutions

Retention isn’t just a metric. It’s a reflection of how well your institution supports students to thrive. Highest Ed helps campuses diagnose retention barriers, align efforts across departments, and design initiatives that move the needle. Whether you're refining existing strategies or launching new ones, Highest Ed brings a systems-level lens and a commitment to sustainable impact.

Success coaching programs can transform the student experience when built with intention. Drawing on years of experience leading one of the nation’s largest coaching programs at ASU and co-founding the NASPA Success Coaching Knowledge Community, Highest Ed offers expert guidance on designing, staffing, and scaling coaching models that work. From pilot programs to campus-wide implementation, we help you build a coaching culture that empowers both students and staff.

Student success lives at the intersection of academic and student affairs. Highest Ed facilitates collaboration across silos, helping institutions build shared ownership of retention goals. We support cross-functional teams in aligning priorities, clarifying roles, and co-creating initiatives that elevate both learning and belonging.
