MISSION
The mission of G-HEDA (pronounced Gee-hee’-Da) is to provide world class consulting advice to support the higher education goals of institutions outside the United States. These may be public or private, large or small, longstanding or fledgling, secular or faith-based. In each case G-HEDA builds on the long time experience and combined professional networks of the founding partners, Dr. Jim Mannoia and Dr. Paul Corts (now retired), to provide both onsite and online advising services across the full spectrum of university planning, operations, and governance.
Since 2015, GHEDA has limited our projects primarily to short-term engagements of a few weeks consulting given the retirement of Dr. Corts.

SERVICES
-

Strategic Planning: G-HEDA offers initial advice on the broad direction for an institutional strategic planning process and occasional ongoing “tune-ups” as the process unfolds.

Curriculum: G-HEDA offers short term consultancy to guide the general framing of programs in general education, especially in the liberal arts.
