For more than 30 years, Jamie Ealy has dedicated his career to work in higher education, with significant experience in collegiate admissions and student recruitment. He has leveraged his wealth of admissions knowledge to advise and advance the strategic goals and missions of institutions with which Art & Science Group has partnered.
At Art & Science Group, Jamie plays a primary role on projects examining strategic positioning and planning, pricing and financial aid, and market analyses as well as providing clients significant expertise in university enrollment management, admissions communications and student recruitment strategy and tactics. Since joining the firm, Jamie has worked with a plethora of institutions including Agnes Scott College, Bellarmine University, Centre College, Colby College, Furman University, Grinnell College, Hendrix College, Providence College, Portland State University, University of North Carolina School of Law, University of Montana, University of Virginia, University of Toledo, and Washington University in St. Louis, among others. His work with independent schools has included the Buckley School, Collegiate School, the Milton Hershey School, and Phillips Brooks Academy, as well as other positioning and strategic planning studies conducted for independent and boarding schools nationwide.

Internally, he offers his insight from his extensive experience with institutional strategic positioning studies to his associate colleagues.
Before joining Art & Science Group, Jamie served as the Director of Undergraduate Student Recruitment at West Virginia University and Director of Admission at Berea College, where he oversaw undergraduate student recruitment, including all branding and communications initiatives, territory enrollment goal setting, recruitment data analysis and coordination of on-and-off campus events. His efforts in both positions resulted in meeting and exceeding various recruitment and enrollment goals respective to each institution.
Beyond the Work
In his free time, Jamie enjoys traveling and vacationing with his family throughout the United States and abroad. Recently, Ireland has established a firm foothold on his “favorite destination” list as he assumes the visit has had statistically significant bearing on improving his chances of winning the lottery. (Outcomes of this research are still pending.) Whether traveling or at home, Jamie spends considerable time hiking and reading, and is also an avid film buff and collector. His favorite movie is The Godfather, and he frequently will engage in unofficial Godfather trivia with David Strauss, firm Principal, to determine who is the truest fan.
