LUKAS WENRICK, M.ED.

Director of Research

Lukas Wenrick spends his days working to develop innovative solutions to the most complex issues colleges universities face. Lukas first became interested in higher education mergers as a graduate student where he began exploring the impact that mergers had on the personnel involved. He worked with then President David Chard of Wheelock College to write a case study on their successful merger with Boston University. His work was eventually published through the Harvard Education Publishing Group in 2018.

Lukas holds a Master's of Education in Higher Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science Education from Wright State University. His experiences at both an open access public university and an elite private institution inform the work he does each day. Lukas has held leadership positions at institutions in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Arizona.
