The students made a huge difference. Their research  helped us secure the grant to establish our new credential program, Technology Leaders in Independent Schools (TLIS), and gave us a significant advantage to have the market information in our back pocket as we launched. As we celebrated our inaugural class of TLIS certified professionals, this will be an incredible revenue stream and industry-building offering for ATLIS for years to come.

Thank you so much for your hard work, brilliant analysis, and stellar recommendations. Having worked with some of the major consulting firms in my past, you should be very proud of the work you did and rigor with which you went about it. I look forward to the day we are shipping high-end Certified Angus Beef nationally and you can tell your friends and family: ‘I had a part in that’.

Our work with the Executive MBA Capstone project was exceptional from day one. From the first meeting, our team was engaged, focused and asking all of the right questions to help our project succeed. The final project and presentation was astounding. We could have (and have) spent tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work that doesn't match the quality of our work that the student provided to us. We are deeply grateful for the work that this team has provided us and for the future of our organization.
