Kevin has spent nearly 25 years working in the higher education sector. Currently, he serves as the Vice President for Enrollment Management at Oklahoma City University (OCU), a role he has held since 2012. In this role he has led domestic and international admissions, financial aid, student accounts, and University marketing and communications. Among his proudest achievements in this role has been discount management and developing a system to accurately predict net revenue to be generated from future enrollment.
Prior to coming to OCU, Kevin first worked at Washburn University (Topeka, KS) and then Saint Louis University (St. Louis, MO). However, he originally began his career as a television news reporter and substitute anchor, which made him a naturally trained speaker. The combination of these skills is what led Kevin to be part of the Blue Rock team, where he works with higher education candidates seeking employment through the search process. He enjoys interviewing and representing candidates to colleges and universities so they can find the best talent for their roles.
He has been a regular presenter at the American Association for Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) SEM Conferences. He has also been a past presenter at the former Recruitment Plus Users’ conference, the ACT Enrollment Planners’ conference and the Missouri Association for Collegiate Admissions Counselors (MOACAC) conference. Some topics have included, A Paperless Admissions Office, How to Search the Right Students, Lowering Tuition Discount and Maximizing New Student Revenue, How to Manage Enrollment During a University Prioritization Process, and How to Accurately Predict Institutional Net Revenue. His work has also been published in the AACRAO Strategic Management Quarterly Journal.
