Founded in 1999, Keeling & Associates, LLC (K&A) is a national leader with 25 years’ experience providing specialized and highly customized consulting and executive search services to colleges and universities, with an emphasis on student-facing priorities in student affairs, health/counseling/wellness, and student success.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
STUDENTS FIRST
We advocate for and strive to advance the learning, success, and well being of students. Everyone is a learner deserving of opportunities to grow.
EQUITY
We believe everyone is a student. All students must be able to take full advantage of opportunities and resources that enable them to learn.
EMPATHY
We apply an ethic of care, not only to sustain a humane work environment, but also to encourage higher education institutions to respond to students as whole people.
VALUE
We strive for value for every institution we serve, for the students who put their trust in those institutions, and for our staff members, whose knowledge, skills, and commitment enable us to succeed.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
Ours is an unjust and inequitable society. Change is overdue. We—as a company, as individuals, and in our work—will advocate for equity and inclusion, challenge hate, and work for justice.
OUR TEAM
Our consultants bring on-the-ground experience as presidents, provosts, vice presidents, AVPs, and executive directors. They have served on governing and advisory boards of national and international professional organizations. Their diverse professional and academic backgrounds in academic leadership, student affairs, medicine, psychology and counseling, public health, business, athletics, development, and the arts ensures an interdisciplinary perspective in everything we do.
