Among Our Program of Services​

Research Papers

Engaging content that places your organization in the conversation about key higher education issues of the day. These are not product papers, but rather thought-provoking, timely, and actionable briefs aimed at busy executives. Expertly researched, copy-edited, and professionally designed to provide an independent voice.

Salon Dinners

Our style of dinners combines engaging content with an exclusive group of higher-education leaders and a distinctive culinary experience—all facilitated by Jeff and other experts. We have produced salon dinners in cities around the world, from London to San Francisco to Austin. The dinner is an opportunity for a curated group of higher ed  administrators to sit down and listen to an interview with a newsmaker and then spend quality time discussing critical issues with their counterparts around the table. The dinners provide an exclusive space for networking with decision-makers and to partner with thought leaders in the space.

The NEXT Office Hour​

The Office Hour is a webcast produced by Academic Intelligence, which is responsible for recruiting panelists, prepping panelists, preparing run of show, and providing content.

Events

From sessions at conferences to intimate half-day or day-long events, Academic Intelligence handles all the details, including content and logistics.

Jeff Selingo and Matt Sigelman interpret the data in this new paper to show where the degree still works, where it doesn’t, and how colleges and universities can redesign their B.A. programs to increase ROI.
