As a comprehensive consulting and professional services firm, K&A believes that the most successful searches are based on a solid understanding and appreciation of institutional priorities and goals—only that deep understanding can produce the best outcomes.

We understand the critical role a diverse staff, especially among senior leadership, plays in student success both in and out of the classroom. Increasing leadership opportunities for all qualified individuals is at the core of our philosophy and central to the ethics of our consulting practice.

Our partnership with NASPA Interim Executive Placement Services (IEPS) provides reliable and high quality services to NASPA member institutions who would benefit from an interim administrator.

The American Council on Education (ACE) Executive Search Roundtable provides opportunities for organizations to build on interests of ACE and executive search firms with the goal of identifying talented leaders for U.S. colleges and universities. K&A is pleased to be an active member of this group of excellent search firms that serve higher education.

We are proud to partner with NASPA to offer Interim Executive Placement Services (IEPS) to institutions seeking to fill temporary vacancies in key positions. Our senior consultants’ hands-on approach and extensive networks, coupled with NASPA’s position as the professional home for student affairs, come together to offer a truly innovative, reliable, and high-quality service.

Since 2012, we have partnered with NASPA to place over 75 interims in senior-level leadership roles in enrollment management, student affairs, and related areas at a broad range of institutions across North America.

We are not your ordinary consultants. Instead, think of us as partners who share your goals. See us as catalysts, facilitating change. Let our distinctive and customized consulting and professional services help you put students first.

Rarely do we ever adhere to just one ‘service’ when working with our clients. A true partnership involves entirely unique work processes to solve the stickiest of problems, and create the biggest impact for the culture of higher learning.
