WATERTOWN, Mass.

He understands how innovative technology and thinking can transform colleges and universities and he understands the values and priorities of higher ed leaders and institutions. He will ensure that Liaison continues to solidify not only its own standing in the world of higher education admissions and marketing, but that of its clients as well.”

Over the last three decades, Liaison has helped over 40,000 programs on more than 1,200 campuses more effectively manage admissions through its Centralized Application Service (CAS™) technology and complementary application processing and support services.
