3 questions for Huron's Kaitlin dumont. On building a career by connecting universities, ed-tech companies, nonprofits and ideas across higher education. Since then, Kaitlin has joined Huron, where she advises colleges and universities on strategy, innovation and organizational transformation. As we've stayed in touch, I've also noticed another thread emerging in her work. Whether through executive convenings, Future of Higher Ed, EdTech Week, mentoring early-stage founders or simply making introductions between people who ought to know one another, she seems to be intentionally building bridges across universities, education companies, employers, nonprofits, policymakers and the broader higher education ecosystem. That struck me as an increasingly important career path in our sector. I wanted to better understand how she thinks about that work and what the rest of us might learn from it. Q: One thing I've noticed about your career is that you seem to have become a connector across the higher education ecosystem. Whether you're partnering with higher education institutions, convening cross-sector leaders, mentoring founders or bringing together people who otherwise might never have crossed paths, you seem to gravitate toward work that connects people and ideas. Did you set out to carve out this kind of role or did it evolve naturally? Where did that instinct come from? And why do you think higher education needs more people willing to work across the boundaries of institutions, companies and organizations? A: I've always thrived at intersections. Cheerleading and drama club. Religion and modern media (the title of my undergraduate thesis, by the way!). Higher education and ed tech. Higher education and employers. Higher education and... well... just about anything else. It has only been over the last few years that I've started asking myself why that is. I suppose it's because I'm genuinely curious about how things fit together to create a better outcome. There was a show on Netflix a few years ago, The Queen's Gambit, where the lead character, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, a chess protégée, would look up at the ceiling and visualize all the possible moves before deciding what came next. I don't do that with chess pieces. I do it with people. I have an instinct for seeing who should know each other, who might challenge each other's thinking or who could create something interesting together. Over the years, I've collected an incredible network of people across higher education, and increasingly I've realized that introducing them to one another can be just as valuable as solving a problem myself. That realization also changed how I think about higher education. For too long, we've operated with an "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you" mentality. Institutions competed for students, faculty, rankings, research funding and prestige. That may have worked in another era, but the challenges we're facing today are bigger than any one campus. Who is today's learner? How do we respond to shifting public policy? What happens when the traditional business model no longer works? And then, of course, there's AI. One of the people who has influenced my thinking the most is Ron Adner at the Tuck School of Business. Ron argues that many of our classic strategy frameworks were designed for industries with clear boundaries. Today's world doesn't work that way. Instead, value is increasingly created through ecosystems, where success depends on how well organizations collaborate rather than compete. I think that's exactly where higher education finds itself today. In fact, I'd argue we should stop thinking about the higher education industry and start thinking about the learning ecosystem. Universities are joined by employers, education companies, nonprofits, policymakers, philanthropies and many others. The challenge isn't simply getting those groups into the same room. It's figuring out how they create more value together than any one organization could create on its own. Ron also makes another key point in this thinking: Successful ecosystems aren't built by committee. They emerge because a lead partner takes responsibility for aligning all the other participants around a shared vision. I think the jury is still out on who will play that role in our future learning ecosystem, but that's one of the questions I find most exciting and what influences much of the work I'm doing today. Editor's picks. Q: People often think about networking as something transactional or primarily about advancing one's career. You seem to approach it differently, building communities like Future of Higher Ed, organizing conversations and making introductions with no immediate expectation of return. How do you think about community building and what have you learned about creating connections that benefit the broader higher education ecosystem? A: Once you stop thinking about networking like a consultant and more like an investigative journalist, life gets a whole lot more fun. I've never viewed networking as collecting business cards or trying to figure out what someone can do for me. In fact, some of the most meaningful professional relationships I've built started with conversations that had no agenda at all. They were simply interesting discussions with interesting people. I've also learned that the best introductions are often the ones where you disappear. If I introduce two people who end up collaborating on a research project, launching a partnership or simply becoming trusted colleagues, that's a success, even if I'm no longer part of the conversation. That philosophy has shaped much of the work I'm doing today. Whether it's Future of Higher Ed, where I lead the Boston chapter, the Higher Education Fellowship & Think Tank we're building at EdTech Week or even a recent "One Table" dinner I hosted for a dozen remarkable women across higher education, they all start with the same premise - create the space, introduce a provocative question into the middle of the room (sometimes like a hand grenade... just kidding... mostly) and then get out of the way. Some of the best ideas don't come from the smartest person in the room. They emerge because someone brought together people who see the world differently. As consultants, it's tempting to think we always need to have the answer. I've actually found that some of the greatest value we can provide is creating the conditions for better conversations. If we educate the market, ask better questions and help people learn from one another, the partnerships and opportunities tend to follow naturally. I like to joke that one plus one can equal three, but I genuinely believe that's what happens when you bring together the right people around the right challenge. Q: You've now worked across elite universities, executive education, educational consulting, education companies and nonprofit organizations. Looking ahead, what advice would you give someone early or midcareer who wants to build a meaningful, lasting career across higher education? What skills, mindsets or habits do you think will matter most over the next decade? A: Someone once asked me whether I loved my job and without thinking, I blurted out, "No." (That probably wasn't the answer they were expecting...) What I should have said is that I find my work deeply meaningful. But meaningful work isn't always enjoyable. It's challenging. It's frustrating. Sometimes it's emotionally exhausting. There are days when nothing seems to move forward, when the right answer isn't obvious or when you wonder whether you're making any progress at all. I've actually come to believe that's exactly how it should feel. The problems facing higher education today are incredibly complex. If the work were easy, someone would have solved it already. The moments that have shaped my career haven't been the comfortable ones. They've been the moments where I had to learn something completely new, walk into a room where I wasn't the smartest person there or say yes to an opportunity before I felt completely ready. The way you get through those moments is the people you surround yourself with. Josh, I'm privileged to call you one of those people. When I started at Dartmouth, three months postpartum after moving to a new state with a newborn and stepping into my first real strategic role, I felt way (waaaay!) out of my depth. I still remember your encouragement during those early days. You saw something in me before I saw it in myself, and with good people like you in my corner, I found the confidence to stay relentlessly curious and keep going. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that careers are far less linear than we pretend they are. If you had asked me as a religion major at Tufts where I'd end up, I certainly wouldn't have predicted Harvard Business School, Dartmouth, Kaplan, Huron, mentoring ed-tech founders or helping convene conversations across the learning ecosystem. Every meaningful pivot in my career started with curiosity and a conversation, not a master plan. So my advice is simple: Stay curious. Meet people whose jobs look nothing like yours. Build relationships before you need them, because you never know which conversation will change the trajectory of your career. Volunteer for projects that scare you. Become the person who asks one more question instead of pretending to have one more answer (even if you think it's a stupid question. As my dad likes to say, "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people." Hey... now!). Most of all, remember that careers are built over decades, not quarters. The title you have today matters far less than the reputation you're building and the person you're becoming.

Huron chosen to lead REAPS efficiency review. August 7, 2026. The Iowa Board of Regents has selected Huron Consulting Services as its partner for its Revenue Enhancement and Productivity Study (REAPS). Huron, based out of Chicago, has demonstrated extensive experience in higher education, with more than 100 similar engagements in the higher education space in the past five years. A total of eight proposals were received in response to the Board of Regents request for proposals earlier this summer. Firms were evaluated based on project approach and methodology, relevant experience and past performance, qualifications of the proposed project team, understanding of Iowa's public universities' objectives, implementation focus and deliverables and return on investment. "We are thrilled to be forming this collaboration with Huron," said Board of Regents President Pro Tem Kurt Tjaden. "They have a wealth of experience and showed a clear focus on the objectives and goals of the REAPS initiative. We look forward to partnering with Huron to better understand how our universities stack up against best practices at our peers and what we can accelerate or launch to drive greater efficiencies and create new sustainable sources of revenue." The REAPS initiative, established by then Board President Sherry Bates in December 2025, is a focused effort to find revenue enhancement opportunities as well as savings and administrative efficiencies at Iowa's public universities. Throughout the process, Huron will work closely with the REAPS committee, a working group comprised of representatives from the Board of Regents, Board Office staff, and the universities. Stakeholders at each university will be engaged throughout the process to help shape and validate recommendations. Huron's preparation of the REAPS report is expected to last into early next year, with a public presentation of a final report to the Board of Regents at its February 2027 meeting.

Huron repurchased 1.6 million shares year-to-date and projects free cash flow of $180 million–$220 million for the year.
HURN stock soars after big earnings beat and raised outlook. TIM SYKES - UPDATED JUL. 29, 2026, 4:47 PM ET Huron Consulting Group Inc. shares rally as transformative strategic win drives optimism, and stocks have been trading up by 40.07 percent Key takeaways. * Q2 2026 brought a major upside surprise, with adjusted EPS of $2.46 topping the $2.17 consensus on $465.6M in revenue, up 16% year over year with stronger margins and cash flow. * Full-year 2026 guidance was raised, with adjusted EPS now targeted at $9.00-$9.40 and revenue before reimbursable expenses pegged at $1.85B-$1.89B, both ahead of Street expectations. * Board strength improved as Dr. L. Thomas Richards joined as a director, expanding the board to 10 and adding deep healthcare, life sciences, and capital markets expertise. * Industry recognition rose after three senior leaders at Huron were named 2026 Top Consultants by Consulting Magazine, including a Lifetime Achievement Award that supports the firm's long-term growth story. Live Update At 16:47:10 EDT: On Wednesday, July 29, 2026 Huron Consulting Group Inc. stock [NASDAQ: HURN] is trending up by 40.07%! Discover the key drivers behind this movement as well as its expert analysis in the detailed breakdown below. Quick financial overview. The tape on HURN tells the story. In a few sessions, Huron Consulting Group Inc. ripped from the low $110s to a $170.37 close on 2026/07/29. That's a huge repricing after a strong Q2 earnings release and raised outlook. The daily chart shows a clean breakout: HURN hovered around $100-$120 for weeks, then exploded once traders digested the numbers. Intraday on 2026/07/29, the 5-minute chart reveals steady higher lows from the mid-$150s through the $160s and into the close near the highs. That's classic trend-day behavior with dip buyers in control. Fundamentals back up the move. Q2 revenue hit $475.0M, and operating income of $50.2M translated to an EBIT margin near 13%. For the last year, HURN generated roughly $1.70B in revenue with a 35% gross margin and a profit margin near 6%. A price/earnings ratio around 22 and price-to-sales near 1.2 keep the stock in "growth at a reasonable price" territory, not nosebleed levels. Leverage is there, but manageable. Debt-to-equity sits above 2, yet interest coverage is about 6 times and the current ratio is 2.2, giving HURN room to ride out bumps while it grows. For active traders, the combination of strong numbers and a high-volume breakout makes HURN a textbook momentum name to track. Why traders are watching HURN right now. HURN is on screens this week for one reason: execution. The company delivered Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.46 versus $2.17 expected and revenue of $465.6M versus $448.97M. That's not just a small beat; it's a broad-based win with 16% year-over-year growth and record revenue before reimbursable expenses across Consulting, Managed Services, and Digital. When a consulting name posts record top-line across all segments, traders pay attention. The quality of the beat matters. Huron Consulting Group Inc. talked about margin expansion and strong operating cash flow, not just one-off gains. Operating cash flow of about $120.5M in the quarter and free cash flow north of $111.0M show HURN is turning earnings into real cash. That supports the current rally because traders know cash gives management options: pay down debt, buy back stock, or reinvest into higher-margin offerings. Guidance is the real kicker. Management now expects full-year 2026 adjusted EPS of $9.00-$9.40 and revenue before reimbursable expenses of $1.85B-$1.89B, both ahead of prior guidance and above Street models near $1.83B and $8.84. When a company raises both revenue and earnings targets after a big beat, the Street usually has to chase the numbers higher. That's the kind of reset that fuels multi-day momentum in names like HURN. On top of that, Huron Consulting added Dr. L. Thomas Richards to the board, bringing healthcare, life sciences, and capital markets experience that lines up with core client sectors. Awards from Consulting Magazine for three Huron leaders, including a Lifetime Achievement nod, add a reputation boost that supports premium pricing and complex cross-border work. None of this is a one-day catalyst, but together it builds a strong narrative that HURN is executing on both numbers and strategy. Conclusion. For active traders, HURN now sits in that sweet spot where technical strength and fundamentals line up. The stock broke out hard after Q2 2026 results, sprinting from roughly $120 to above $170 as revenue, margins, and cash flow all came in stronger than expected. Raised full-year guidance, with adjusted EPS targeted at $9.00-$9.40 on up to $1.89B in revenue, backs up the move with a clear roadmap. Under the hood, Huron Consulting Group Inc. shows solid profitability, a 35% gross margin, and returns on equity north of 20%, while still trading at a valuation that doesn't look extreme for a double-digit grower. Yes, leverage is real, but cash generation and interest coverage give HURN a cushion as it scales its Consulting, Managed Services, and Digital segments. Governance moves, like adding Dr. Richards to the board, and external recognition from Consulting Magazine help support the longer-term growth story and brand strength. For traders, the lesson is simple: follow the catalysts and respect the price action. As millionaire penny stock trader and teacher Tim Sykes, says, "It's not about how much money you make; it's about how much money you keep.". As Tim Sykes loves to say, "Patterns repeat, but you've got to study like crazy so you're ready when they do." HURN's earnings surge and breakout are a live case study in how strong fundamentals, raised guidance, and tight technicals can line up to create powerful trading opportunities.
