Accelerated Equity Insights was co-founded in 2021 by Dr. Ted Thornhill and Marie Bigham to provide postsecondary education admission offices an opportunity to analyze their effectiveness in handling communication with equity and timeliness. 

 Our team is able to work alongside colleges and universities as they analyze communication data, execute action plans for training admissions counselors, and establish systems and structures for quarterly follow-up audits and evaluations. 

 By partnering with us, admissions offices are able to implement our program to ensure that every voice is heard and has the same opportunities. With Accelerated Equity Insights, postsecondary education gains a valuable tool in establishing high standards of communication.
