Higher Education

From securing grants and other funding to building partnerships and coalitions to advance policy goals, higher education clients trust our team to effectively represent their interests. Our representation of higher education institutions goes beyond program funding to include services such as reputation management, partnership and coalition building, fundraising, and communications, as well as alumni and internship program development. 

No institution is too big or too small for us. We represent a diverse group of universities — from a small public liberal arts college to one of Georgia’s largest state universities. Additionally, our professionals have assisted presidents of large universities in preparing for and testifying before Congressional education committees.
