Hi, I’m Dave Gurchiek founder of Gurchiek Consulting LLC, dedicated to helping colleges and universities navigate today's challenging landscape of opportunity and growth. The expertise I gained in higher education (college dean, associate dean, department chair, faculty/program director) now enables me to evaluate the academic health of a college (specific programs, departments, community needs, etc.) and make recommendations which will assist academic leaders with creating or refining their plans for success. I’m also the host/creator of Academic Dean, a bi-weekly podcast for today's college leaders. As the host, I connect with passionate college leaders who share their stories and viewpoints of higher education, especially lessons learned along the way. Academic Dean is available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, Listen Notes, Overcast, TuneIn, and Stitcher.
