Champlain
College Online, a leader in career-focused adult higher education,
today announced the appointment of Gabriel Clevenger as assistant vice
president of enrollment management.
In his new role, Clevenger will lead the College’s efforts to sustain
enrollment growth with a focus on expanding its existing national
workforce development partnership program known as truED.
Specifically, he will oversee the strategic direction and growth of
Champlain’s truED partnerships to ensure the program continues to evolve
in tandem with the changing needs of the U.S. workforce.
Clevenger has spent most of the last 20 years managing and implementing
strategic alliances and client relationships in the higher education
sector. He most recently served as the senior director of client
relations at the Council
for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) where he worked with
corporations to identify appropriate career-pathing solutions to drive
employee engagement and retention. Prior to that, he served as the
national director of strategic alliances at Excelsior College in Albany,
New York, where he led and helped expand a team focused on corporate,
association and government partnerships. Clevenger has also served as
adjunct faculty at Excelsior and has expertise in talent management,
leadership and development, and workforce development.
He earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from The Sage
Colleges in Albany, New York. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in
education (Ed.D.) with a focus on competency-based learning and higher
education administration from Northeastern University.
“Gabe’s extensive experience in workforce development and his personal
understanding of the needs of adult learners make him a perfect fit for
Champlain College Online,” said Johnna Herrick-Phelps, assistant
provost at Champlain College Online. “We look forward to leveraging
his knowledge to continue to build our truED Alliance program and
establishing new strategic alliances to expand opportunities to more
adult students while providing talent management solutions to
organizations.”
Through its truED Alliance Program, Champlain works closely with more
than 70 public sector, nonprofit and private sector organizations to
close skills gaps and address other workforce challenges faced by
today’s businesses. Champlain students acquire new, career-focused
skills and knowledge through accelerated online classes, highly relevant
and applicable coursework, immersive labs and engaging discussions in
in-demand subject areas such as business, technology and healthcare
administration. These truED partnerships are designed to help employers
find creative, agile ways to grow their workforces and are tailored to
the needs of individual organizations. Past and current partnerships
have included custom badge programs in specific, mission-critical
skillsets—such as cybersecurity—which allow employees to get up to speed
more quickly.
“Knowing that Champlain College Online has innovative practices
engrained in its roots, and that they are still such a palpable aspect
of the College now, is one of the main reasons I came on board,” said
Clevenger. “I look forward to working at an institution that is both
attuned to the needs of adult students and constantly evolving to
continually provide exceptional, career-relevant microcredentials and
degree programs.”
