It is rare that a single person has the opportunity to impact so many lives for the better – at Healy+, that rarity is commonplace. Every day, I get to work with colleges and universities of every shape and size across the entire country to increase awareness about campus safety, improve transparency with communities, and promote accountability for institutional leaders. And that is pretty awesome.
Background
Kyle C. Norton serves as the Director for Regulatory Compliance at The Healy+ Group, (formerly Margolis Healy and Associates, LLC) with an extensive higher education and auditing background. Early in his career, he served as a consultant for large banking corporations, through which he developed process mapping, identified gaps, analyzed risk, audited and re-wrote policies and procedures, and worked with internal stakeholders to re-train employees on best practices. The bulk of Kyle’s career has been in higher education in a variety of capacities. Kyle has served as an Assistant Director of Undergraduate Programs and Recruitment through which he led university-wide recruitment initiatives, developed student leadership programs, spearheaded summer camp programs for high school students, and served on the student conduct board. Kyle also served as a Managing Director and full-time clinical professor, and oversaw the academic advising team, teaching faculty, curriculum development, and strategic growth for his division. Additionally, Kyle aided Cozen O’Connor’s Institutional Response Group (IRG) as the Chief of Staff and Institutional Response Coordinator, focusing on Title IX, VAWA, and Clery-related policy work and investigations, data audits, national trainings, client relationship development, and overall project management.
In Kyle’s role as Director, he oversees Regulatory Compliance efforts which include the Clery Act, Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA), and Title IX (in conjunction with Cozen O’Connor’s IRG). His focus is on leveraging the firm’s collective expertise to deliver compliance support to higher education communities that is impactful, actionable, and always led by preparedness – never driven by fear. Kyle is also working on integrating technology and artificial intelligence into the various products and services offered through the Regulatory Compliance practice area. Overall, the various roles in Kyle’s career thus far have allowed him to develop a unique, holistic understanding of the inner-workings and connectivity within higher education and the nuances that exist throughout institutions nationwide.
Kyle is a Philadelphia native and graduated from Drexel University in 2013 with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and again in 2017 with a Master’s in Higher Education.
