The LLLS track record in institutional advancement is particularly strong. We have earned high marks from higher education clients for our abilities to fill multiple positions, address relocation issues, and identify talented advancement professionals across development, alumni, and marketing functions. We also have experience working in concert with offices outside of advancement, such as those for the President and Provost, Human Resources, Admissions, individual academic departments, and deans.
