SLATE SOLUTIONS
Charting a Clear Course
If Slate were one-size-fits-all, it could never take us as far as we need to go. The real opportunity lies in tailoring it to your institutional goals—and creating a system that’s designed for the way your office works.
ADMISSIONS
In theory, it’s a straight path, but in reality, building a class is complex. Slate simplifies the process—and we simplify Slate.
STUDENT SUCCESS
We all want to make an impact, but helping students thrive is what really drives us. Slate gives you the tools to support, engage, and guide them every step of the way.
ADVANCEMENT
Slate makes giving possible, but managing the details isn’t always easy. We help you organize your data, understand your donors, and make the most of every opportunity.
TURNING SLATE INTO A STRATEGIC GROWTH ENGINE
Finally—a partner who sees the big picture, speaks your language, and helps you create value. While others offer technical support, Post Captain Consulting is the only firm that turns this operational tool into a true engine for growth in higher education.
Follow Our Team's Lead
Led by a team of former Slate Captains, Post Captain Consulting combines unparalleled technical expertise with a deep understanding of your unique institutional needs.
EMILY MYERS
Senior Director, Advancement Solutions
Slate Captain, Mount St. Mary’s University (2019–2023)
What’s one Slate thing you are proud of?
I’m proud of my ability to translate items from different instance types – leveraging my Advancement background and interpreting how items used in Advancement can be helpful in Admissions and vice versa. Slate provides many of the same building blocks in both instance types and I enjoy finding ways to configure them to help my clients get the most out of Slate.
CHRIS WILD
Associate Director, Enrollment Solutions
Slate Captain, Goucher College (2017–2025)
What is your favorite type of project?
I love projects that start with the question, “What if?” “What if Slate could do this?” or “How could Slate make this process easier?” Some of the most interesting, challenging, and rewarding projects I’ve worked on began with a “what if…”
PAULA SCHAEFER-RILEY
Director, Slate Strategy
Slate Captain, Allegheny College Product Manager, Technolutions (2019–2025)
What's your favorite way to engage with the Slate community?
There are so many great ways to connect with everyone, and I might be biased, but Post Captain Office Hours are my favorite. With a narrow focus and small group, we are able to have a meaningful conversation and share with the community. Summit is an amazing experience but this introvert loves the low-pressure, smaller group discussions.
VINNIE RODRIGUEZ
Director, Custom Solutions
Slate Captain, Jacksonville University (2018–2022)
How did you first come to Slate?
I happened into Slate entirely by accident. I had started working with a small private school in an AV/IT role, overseeing the installations for a new campus, working closely with the grad admissions team who would go on to occupy most of that space. As the project was wrapping up, the existing Slate Captain put in her notice, and I inherited her system.
