Testimonials

“This was my first experience with AASCU Consulting. The consultant’s knowledge and background provided confidence and credibility that made a unique difference with our faculty and staff community given the scope of the work. I recommend new presidents and chancellors leverage the assets and expertise of AASCU Consulting. The level of experience and relatedness can help tremendously as they launch their leadership role.”

Bennie Harris

Chancellor
University of South Carolina Upstate

“I strongly believe that the institutional momentum gained during the first year of my presidency was due in no small part to the onboarding services provided by AASCU Consulting.

AASCU Consulting’s work helped accelerate my knowledge of the college’s senior leadership team and its culture, its organizational structures, the complex ecosystem in which it operates, the most immediate challenges, and promising opportunities it faced. The knowledge gained informed my allocation of time and energy during the first three months of my tenure and sharpened my focus on the important areas that needed attention.”

“As someone fairly green in the grant world, [GSS’s] Proposal Library has been instrumental in helping me learn how to write competitive, successful proposals. The team is exceptionally helpful, responsive, communicative, and always ready to provide guidance and support. The library has also been a valuable resource for sharing proposal examples with faculty.”

“Working with AASCU Consulting (formerly known as APC) over the past year was a remarkable experience. We covered all of the above-listed issues in depth through examples, case studies, and dialog. Our meetings were a time for me to discuss my issues in a non-threatening environment with two seasoned and well-respected administrators. I was also able to call each of them throughout the year to coach me in addressing immediate challenges. This program certainly made me a better provost, leader, and team member. It also assisted me in building a strong relationship with my president. I highly recommend this program to all newly appointed provosts.”
