As an MBA Program Director, Kevin Ezzell is responsible for the oversight of the operations, recruitment strategy and vision for an internationally ranked full-time MBA program.  He is particularly involved with strategy and program development, as his primary goal is to continue to strengthen and increase enrollment beyond the 57% enrollment increase the program experienced in his first two years as Program Director.  Kevin brings over fifteen years of higher education experience to this role, including a strong desire in working with post-traditional learners at the two-year, four-year, certificate, and graduate levels.  His higher education experience spans working at a regionally ranked liberal arts college and now at a top 50 nationally ranked university.  The common theme that runs through his higher education career has been creating and developing programs outside of the norms of established higher education.  As a result of this background, his approach is entrepreneurial and consultative and he thrives in situations that involve seeking creative solutions to problems.  Kevin has previously served on a non-profit educational board, the Council for Accelerated Learning (Denver, CO) and has been published by the Council for Adult Experiential Learning (CAEL), as well as appeared in articles in Quartz at Work and other regional publications around the topic of post-traditional learning.
