College and university provosts are tasked with a unique mission in higher education. Now called Chief Academic Officers at many institutions, provosts ensure that business-minded school administrations never lose sight of their core purpose: preparing their students for life through quality education.

As a former provost herself, Kara Monroe, Founder and President of Monarch Strategies, never lost her passion for helping others navigate the complexities of higher academia.
