About Alex Carroll
As Senior Strategic Leader for Adult Learner Recruitment at EAB, I partner with colleges and universities nationwide to design and implement data-driven enrollment strategies that strengthen pipelines for undergraduate completers and graduate students. My work focuses on aligning recruitment, marketing, and operational strategy to help institutions thrive in an increasingly competitive and evolving higher education landscape. This role has further sharpened my expertise in funnel optimization, performance tracking, and inclusive recruitment, while reinforcing my commitment to expanding access and opportunity for adult learners.Previously, I served as Vice President for Online & Graduate Programs at Limestone University, where I provided executive leadership for online and graduate education and led a high-performing team dedicated to enrollment growth and student success. Under my leadership, the institution achieved significant enrollment gains across online and graduate programs, launched new initiatives, and strengthened a culture centered on academic excellence, accountability, and learner outcomes.Earlier in my career, as Director of Digital Learning Enrollment at Gardner-Webb University, I developed and implemented enrollment marketing strategies and operational processes that improved the student experience and supported sustainable growth. These experiences grounded my leadership approach in collaboration, data-informed decision-making, and student-centered innovation.I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Strategic Leadership (DSL) at Oral Roberts University, where my research and studies further inform my work at the intersection of strategy, organizational leadership, and higher education transformation. Across each of my roles, I have remained passionate about advancing higher education through principled leadership, strategic execution, and a deep commitment to learners. My mission is to help institutions achieve sustainable enrollment growth while empowering students to pursue their academic goals, unlock new opportunities, and transform their futures.
