Testimonials:
“I have partnered with Clark Higher Ed at two different institutions. I can you tell you from experience they aren't 'cookie cutter' and work hard to personalize marketing and messaging for each institution that is true to our brand. They are a great partner that understands our institution and the unique challenges and needs of Christian higher education.”

“If you want to partner with a company who treats you like family rather than like a number, working with Clark Higher Ed is exactly where you need to be. Our friends at CHE have transitioned from consultants to colleagues in no time, and we’re excited about what the future holds.”

“I have worked with several other national vendors and am ecstatic that we are now clients of Clark Higher Ed. I believe the most significant difference with the CHE team compared to some of the other agencies is their understanding of the Christian higher education market. CHE builds their strategies on best practices and tailors them to your institution, rejecting the cookie-cutter approach that many other national vendors use. I am also impressed by the breadth of CHE’s acquired experience with many of their employees working in similar roles as practitioners in higher educational institutions. This market and institutional knowledge allow us to make real-time, data-educated decisions. Finally, I have personally found CHE’s customer service second to none.”
