Higher education institutions are faced with mounting challenges – severe budget constraints, attracting high-quality students, increased student recruitment costs, leveraging and maintaining cutting-edge technology, and brand differentiation – all while being required to provide first-rate education experiences. "As a partner to more than 300 colleges and universities, Eduventures constantly seeks ways to help our clients deal with these challenges by advising them how to increase their reach, achieve their missions, and launch new academic programs. The Global Board of Advisors and our partnership with i-graduate will enhance our ability to do this," said Eduventures' CEO Tom Dretler.

Sandler, the Eduventures GBA, which held its charter meeting in March 2011, will support Eduventures' new product development and growth in new markets. "Because of its special relationships with hundreds of colleges and universities around the world, Eduventures is uniquely positioned to capitalize on emerging domestic and global market trends in higher education to support its client base," said Sandler.
