The last several days have been full of wonderful congratulatory messages. I appreciate everyone who has reached out and thank you all for your kind words. I’ve been thinking about this move to Higher Digital for several months now…to better leverage my skills and experience to help address the challenges within global higher education.

Higher Digital today announced the appointment of Michael Agnew as senior vice president, responsible for overseeing the company’s business growth within the United Kingdom and the European Union. Agnew has more than 20 years of higher education technology industry experience and most recently served as vice president of international research and development at Ellucian.

HIGHER DIGITAL turned questions about its personal data practices into an opportunity to improve customer satisfaction and address new GDPR requirements. We created a more transparent Privacy Policy and opt-in process, while removing boilerplate language that was unnecessarily intrusive, and went beyond anything we ever intended to do with customers’ personal data.
