Founded in 1999 by Richard P. Keeling, MD, Keeling & Associates is a higher education consulting and executive search services firm that works exclusively in higher education to create change for learning. We partner with you to advance learning and improve outcomes, for you, your students, and your institution.
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 are recognized leaders and scholars who have served as provosts, vice presidents, executive directors; they have served on governing and advisory boards of national and international professional organizations. Their diverse professional and educational backgrounds in medicine, public health, business, psychology, student affairs, athletics, and art ensures an interdisciplinary perspective in everything we do.
