The Stillwater Group provides innovative solutions to the financial, operational, and strategic problems of America’s colleges and universities. As specialists in higher education, we understand the unique character of academic institutions and the challenges they face in today’s rapidly changing environment. We combine imagination and creativity with rock-solid analysis to help colleges and universities make the best use of their human, financial, and technological resources.

Founded in 1993, Stillwater has built a client base that reflects the breadth and diversity of American higher education. Our clients include large research universities, liberal arts colleges, historically black colleges and universities, institutes of technology, music conservatories, institutes of fine arts, single-sex colleges, and theological seminaries.

We understand and value the pluralistic character of American higher education and the variety of collegiate structures and missions that support it.  Stillwater’s consultants bring to each engagement a practical, hands-on understanding of higher-education management. All of our professionals have held faculty or senior administrative positions in institutions of higher education. Because we have “been there,” we understand the cultural and organizational nuances that shape the decisions and policies of our clients.
