TESTIMONIALS

“The MacDonnell Career and Internship Center at Siena College has been fortunate to work with Andrew Ceperley & Associates since the fall of 2021 when we were tasked with “reimagining” career services on campus. We sought consultation on how to best navigate post pandemic recruiting and elevate service to both students and alumni. Andy spent several months gathering data, learning the Siena culture and (most importantly) really listening to key internal and external stakeholders. The result was a final report where four themes were highlighted and 25 recommendations were made. His suggestions were thoughtful, innovative and student-centered. More recently, our work with Andy has focused on strategic mission, vision and values.

When hiring Andy, not only will you be bringing on an articulate consultant who is very knowledgeable about many facets of higher education and is always a consummate professional, but you are bringing on a partner who really cares about your organization, your team and those you serve.”

“I absolutely and positively recommend Andy Ceperley for consultation! Andy helped me develop plans for elevation of career services on my campus – philosophy, brand, and physical space. What a fabulous experience – Andy is the consummate professional, did more than his due diligence in preparing for our work together, and through his decades of experience, engaged my stakeholders in serious and productive conversation about the pulse of the profession and value of career development. Andy is extra-prepared, leaves no detail unattended, and yet can easily see the patterns and big picture. He’s a master at branding and image, asks insightful questions, and takes an action-oriented approach.”

“Andy coached me through a major career shift. After working at UC Davis for 22 years, I made the leap to a dream position at UC Berkeley. I was excited, humbled and frankly, in a bit over my head. Andy coached me on every piece of my transition. We spoke about my grief on leaving people at UCD I admired and adored, how to be intentional with this new role/environment, the shifting dynamics on my family with a daily commute and me feeling like I was a bit of an imposter. I looked forward to every session. I loved how he listened, reframed, asked gentle, probing questions and really saw/heard me. I respect Andy immensely and found every session to uncover a new layer of exploration/opportunity for me. I offer the highest recommendation for Andy as a personal/professional coach.”
