International Higher Education Consulting is an informative services company that has served a wide range of clients -- from higher education institutions to higher education organizations. I deliver high-quality results in an affordable, time sensitive manner. I specialize in social/new media use in campus internationalization and organizational advancement efforts, study abroad program evaluation, international education outcomes assessment and research, international student service operations, international scholarship/fellowship competitions, diversity issues and undergraduate student housing and residential life. I also assist with academic copyediting and literature reviews for research and other projects.
International Higher Education Consulting and companion Blog also serve as a clearinghouse for information on international educational exchanges. Special arrangements may be made for access to my extensive library collection which contains many rare and historical publications in the field. Donations of personal and organizational collections have already been made and are welcome!
