Carnegie, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for higher education, today announced its new cohort of the Carnegie Strategic Advisory Council. The Council brings together a diverse community of senior-level higher education leaders to elevate industry conversations, surface emerging challenges, and ensure Carnegie is living its student-centered mission through solutions and client outcomes.
As colleges and universities face a period of rapid transformation, the Council has expanded to represent a wide range of campus leaders that ensure student success, including academic affairs, the president’s office, and emerging roles like chief transformation and strategy officers. In addition to providing “outside-in” perspectives that shape Carnegie’s research and outcomes for clients, the Council leverages Carnegie’s convening power to create opportunities for leaders across a diverse range of institutional types, geographies, and domain expertise to engage with one another.
A Council Designed to Reflect the Diversity of Higher Education
The Council will meet three times annually, including an in-person gathering preceding the Carnegie Conference, to collaborate on strategic initiatives that support innovation and impact across the sector.
The group is composed of leaders from:
- Research universities
- Public flagships
- Regional universities
- HBCUs
- Liberal arts colleges
- Community colleges
Together, they represent the diversity of the higher education landscape in the United States.

“The Carnegie Strategic Advisory Council represents a critical voice in how we partner with the higher education community,” said Shankar Prasad, Chief Strategy Officer at Carnegie. “As we strive to be the comprehensive solutions partner for the sector, this group of trusted leaders will help us test new ideas and spark the innovation necessary to help campuses future-proof their organizations for the changes of tomorrow”.
