Doing what’s best for clients is what motivates
CampusWorks.
Since 1999, it’s delivered unmatched leadership
expertise to institutions of all shapes and sizes,
increasing institutional effectiveness and enhancing
the student experience. A relentless drive to solve
systemic challenges and create the conditions
required for lasting change has earned
CampusWorks a reputation for being bold –
something that made Dallas College take notice.
College leadership aimed to eradicate poverty
in the region. An audacious goal, Chief Innovation
Officer Tim Marshall saw an opportunity for
transformation as practical requirements came
into focus: the consolidation of the seven
institutions, creating the foundation for a single
enterprise technology platform, and reimagining
‘student success’. Having found a synergy with
CampusWorks, the independent firm was engaged.
Attentively digging in, CampusWorks set out to
align the College’s people, processes, information,
and technology for the future. But Chief Executive
Officer and Board Chair Liz Murphy confirms her
team’s work went deeper, “while we used our
standard methodologies, we had the blessing of
the chancellor to really push the organization to
think completely differently about how they would
operate as a single institution.” Exploring beyond
stated needs CampusWorks’ student-centric
approach helped faculty and staff embrace the
possibilities created by change.
One such possibility: the nation’s first career
connected learner network. “We coined the termCollege Selects

unmatched expertise to drive transformation, think differently,
and embrace the possibilities created by change.‘enroll in a job’, because that’s what students want
and need,” says Marshall. “When CampusWorks
came in, discussions became less about functions as
opposed to interesting approaches to the students.”
Today that network helps students connect learning
to living wages and sustainable careers - moving
the College one step closer to its goal of ending
systemic poverty. “Colleges and universities have
a profound ability to make change,” says Murphy.
The CEO believes Dallas College has set the bar
high, but she reports seeing an uptick in the number
of institutions setting similarly ambitious goals.
Murphy encourages today’s leaders to think about
the ripple-effect they wish to have because it’s not
about “where your pebble drops, but where the
ripple goes when it reaches the shore – what is it
that you’re changing in the world?”Liz Murphy,
