Visionary Leader Joins Kelly Education to Transform Higher Education Workforce Models
20 Juillet 2021 - 4:15PM
Institutions of higher learning are facing a dual challenge ahead
of the 2021/22 academic year. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused
enrollments to fluctuate at unprecedented levels while intensifying
budget challenges across our nation’s colleges and universities.
Recognizing that these unknowns demand innovative workforce
solutions, Kelly Education today announced the appointment of Dr.
Michael Plater as vice president and practice leader for higher
education.
As the higher education leader for the nation’s largest provider
of education talent, Dr. Plater is tasked with reimagining college
and university staffing models. He will expand workforce solutions
for the existing client base of Kelly Education to include adjunct
instructional talent with sourcing, recruiting, payrolling and
management of a national adjunct network. In addition, he will
develop solutions to support instruction across multi-state
campuses for virtual or in-person delivery.
“Michael is a true higher education innovator. With a leader of
his caliber, Kelly Education is a proven partner to help colleges
and universities thrive in the shifting education landscape,” Kelly
Education President Nicola Soares says. “We’re proud to be the
managed service provider (MSP) of choice for more than 300 colleges
and universities across the country in partnership with our
outsourcing and consulting group, KellyOCG, and Professional and
Industrial divisions. And we’re excited to be taking our academic
talent solutions to the next level under Michael’s visionary
leadership.”
Dr. Plater has demonstrated vision and action during his
distinguished 30-year career as a university president, higher
education administrator, and faculty member. His academic and
administrative experience spans a wide range of higher education
institutions, including the University of Florida, College of
William and Mary, Brown University, North Carolina A&T State
and Strayer University.
“Now is the time to chart a new course and rethink how we
structure academia for a more fluid, rapid-response to staffing and
enrollment challenges,” Dr. Plater says. “I am eager to begin
collaboration with administrators across the country to create
workforce solutions that meet their institutions’ changing needs
and allow them to focus on the important work of educating
students.”
Dr. Plater earned a Ph.D. in American Studies at the College of
William and Mary, an MBA from The Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania, and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard
University.
“Michael is an academic, a business leader and a staffing
expert,” Soares adds. “With his laser focus on academic solutions
and Kelly Education’s access to a broad pool of exceptional talent,
we’re uniquely positioned to enhance the future of higher
education.”
