MAGUIRE & ASSOCIATES, INC.
SAINT AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA

We are passionate about education. We are a group of talented, authentic people from around the world, and we’re pursuing this passion together. We share a belief that every one of our clients deserves 100 percent of our commitment. That may be why you’ll often hear us referring to clients as our partners and friends. We measure success not by the number of clients served or the growth of our own business, but instead by just one factor—client success We constantly strive to provide clients with something they may not be able to find elsewhere—that rare, powerful blend of evidence, expertise, and experience. We believe that thoughtful insights don’t always come in the form of a 50-page report. Instead, true insight is derived through a unique combination of highly focused research designed to address specific challenges, sophisticated data analysis, evidence-based findings, deep understanding of the rapidly changing marketplace, and recommendations based on wisdom and creativity—all delivered in a dynamic, personal manner that encourages feedback, discussion, and change. We do business this way because we love it and because it works. We are dedicated to our mission to deliver the best service and client outcomes possible. Your outcomes! We understand that our work is not about us. It’s about you, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. “[The Chronicle of Higher Education] asked Maguire Associates to conduct research studies on four-year college presidents and four-year college trustees. The work that Maguire Associates did was extremely helpful in narrowing the scope and directing the question format. Maguire Associates’ analysis of the data was complete and sophisticated. Both studies continue to get a lot of attention in the industry because nothing like it had ever been done.” “We have worked with Maguire Associates for many, many years. Our work together has ranged from enrollment management consulting, to admitted student research, to extensive collaborative work with financial aid leveraging. Over the years, as we experienced challenges from external market forces, Maguire Associates has consistently been ready with insights, advice, tools, and support. Together, we have managed to weather many storms. Maguire Associates has been a trusted partner in our efforts to reach our enrollment goals.” “In my twenty years of trying to balance net revenue, enrollment projections, profile goals and access issues, this is the first time I have felt like we truly have control of the process. We all have goals that seem to be at cross-purposes. EMFASYS gives us the ability to use actual dollar amounts when explaining the cost of reaching each of these goals. This insight is critical in helping our institution prioritize and move forward.” “With the help of Maguire Associates, University of the Ozarks was able to develop and implement a sound financial aid strategy in line with our mission of serving and preparing students from diverse backgrounds. We were extremely pleased with Maguire’s approach to financial aid awarding solutions. Their leadership and guidance were instrumental in helping us recruit the largest and most diverse incoming class in the university’s 183-year history.” “As a result of Maguire Associates’ work, I can say with confidence that people at St. Michael’s have a much better understanding of what factors shape a class using measurement and realistic goals. Maguire Associates is wonderful in helping you gain control and a handle on what it takes to enroll a class.” Richard Freeland joined Maguire Associates in January 2017 after forty-five years of administrative experience in higher education. As President of Northeastern University from 1996–06 he led the transformation of a locally-oriented, unselective and financially vulnerable institution into a top-ranked and highly competitive national university. As the Massachusetts Commissioner for Higher Education from 2009–2016 he organized a statewide strategic plan focused on increasing college readiness among high school graduates, improving college participation among minority students, raising graduation rates, coordinating program development with workforce needs, and building a system of public accountability, including measurable learning outcomes. While Richard’s experience will allow him to contribute broadly to Maguire’s work, he will have a special focus on stratgic positioning and executive coaching.
