Project Partnerships :: Hands on Assistance for Liberal Arts Colleges
Our Story
In her eleven years as a Vice President and Dean of Students at a highly selective liberal arts institution, Sherra H. Babcock, founder and principal of Project Partnerships, occasionally thought about how nice it would be to clone herself so that she could be in two places at once (particularly when one of those places would allow more direct contact with students and other constituents). Knowing the importance of trusted and experienced colleagues, it occurred to her that the occasional “extra” senior colleague who could listen confidentially and make achieving institutional goals a little easier, more timely, and more fun might be a great small business niche.

It is for this reason that she founded Project Partnerships. Project Partnerships is designed to give hands-on assistance to liberal arts and sciences institutions.
“You are the best consultant we've
ever had, and we've had many.”
– Vice President for Human and Organizational Resources

Sherri Babcock received the 2006 Distinguished Alumnus Award from Southwestern University on Oct. 21. The Distinguished Alumna/us Award is the highest honor annually awarded by The Association of Southwestern University Alumni.
