Hope Umansky, PhD

Founder of Innovations Advocacy

Having been an out of the box thinker my entire life, I am a 26-year career educator and want to share my passion for transformative educational experiences by expanding my reach into other institutions and research organizations to assist with initiatives across all institutional levels and stakeholder lines.

After leaving many years in high ranking C-suite higher education administration and teaching, it was time to expand my reach and help other schools, researchers, and students.

Awarded for outstanding teaching and administrative methods in the development of integrative curriculum models based in rigor and cutting-edge learning theory. Recognized strategic consulting-based efficiencies in student services, academic affairs, strategic communications & partnerships through a holistic view of the institution and student.

I have known Hope Umansky for a decade and I have always found her to be of great integrity, wisdom and a very highly skilled Academic and CEO.

Customers Testimonials

Professor Umansky elevates her student's education and helps them to be able to actually learn what is needed, rather than just put a pass or fail on her student's work. More universities, as well as high schools, need to incorporate Professor Umansky's philosophy on teaching as it would do our youth a service and help them appreciate what they are learning.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Umansky as my Professor while completing my Bachelors in Communication. She was extremely supportive and has continued to be long after finishing my Bachelors. She showed me what dedication and hard work look like and helped me to reach my full potential. Thank you Professor for your help, continued support, and for always believing in your students.

I think a teacher who cares about the success of their students is such an amazing thing. ...Making sure the student is accountable, has the rigor, hard work and academic integrity and when the teacher uses tough love it is the best way to challenge the student and help them succeed. I think this should not only be used in education but in life as well.
