About Ron
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
My name is Ron Kennedy and I have been actively involved in online education and enrollment management for the past 8 years. I have formerly served as Executive Director for Liberty University’s Online and Graduate Studies division as well as CEO of Chancellor University located in Cleveland, Ohio. I managed a staff of 150 individuals in marketing, data management, admissions, financial aid, military and academic advising. At both universities I was responsible for the administration and overall operation of the University in meeting aggressive enrollment and retention goals. This includes, reviewing and evaluating the results of program activities, program growth, lead generation, lead scoring, ensuring that continuing contractual obligations are being fulfilled; allocating resources for greater program effectiveness; and efficiency; increasing conversion, developing organizational and program objectives for Board consideration. In addition, I oversee the financial management of the university, including the development and implementation of the annual budget, in order to stay in line with cost per enrollment goals.
I have also been an online adjunct professor since 2006 teaching BUSI223 (Personal Finance), BUSI330 (Marketing), BUSI331 (Marketing Research), BUSI430 (Advertising and Promotion), BUSI433 (Marketing Management), MG265 (Managing Through Effective Supervision) and MG499 (Strategic Management Decisions). I have extensive experience with Blackboard as well as Angel Learning Management Systems (LMS).
I have had the privilege of being able to share the knowledge I have learned over the past 8 years at the 2008 TARGUSinfo Lead Scoring Summit and the 2008 Piper Jaffray Postsecondary Education Investor Field Trip in Phoenix, AZ

Life Goal: I want to honor God in all that I do. I am constantly going through a refining process from God that makes me a better husband, manager and father. I tend to be very black and white, so sometimes relationship building is a challenge for me, but God is teaching me a lot about relationships and leading others effectively. I try to work hard on me, because that is what God expects of me. If I work hard on me (attitude and expectations), then my marriage, career and other important aspects of my life will be a blessing to God.
