Presenter:
Christopher J. McCaghren, Ed.D.
CEO, Higher Education Solutions, LLC

Dr. Chris McCaghren currently serves as the CEO of Higher Education Solutions, a nationally-recognized, full-service higher education consulting firm. Most recently, Dr. McCaghren served as the acting assistant secretary for postsecondary education, as well as the deputy assistant secretary for higher education prior, at the US Department of Education, where he oversaw the distribution of more than $35 billion in pandemic relief funding to more than 5,000 institutions of higher education and their students. Prior to this post, he served as the executive vice president and provost, as well as professor of higher education leadership and policy, at the University of Mobile. During his three-year tenure at the university, he and his team of entrepreneurs more than tripled the institution’s academic offerings (including the university’s first-ever doctorate programs) and introduced several cutting-edge initiatives to increase student access and success (including the four-day academic week and the creation of a 360-degree model for student success).

Prior to being named provost at the University of Mobile, Chris served as dean of the College of Education at Anderson University and as assistant to the president for external programs and division head for the division of career and continuing studies at Samford University. In addition, Chris spent two years serving Congressman Spencer Bachus (AL-6, retired) and the great people of the state of Alabama as special assistant to the congressman.

Chris holds a doctorate from Vanderbilt University in higher education leadership and policy, a master of theological studies from Beeson Divinity School, and a double major undergraduate degree in communication studies and classics from Samford University.
