Gray Associates provides the only academic Program Evaluation System for higher education: PES. By combining software, data, and facilitated processes, PES enables institutions to make data-informed program decisions that strengthen relationships among faculty and administrators. Unlike labor market data providers, PES includes current, local data on student demand, plus jobs, skills, and competition for over 1,500 academic programs, not just those advocated by institutional stakeholders. PES corrects profound errors in many widely-used higher-education data sources. For example, IPEDS reports several hundred thousand online completions in the wrong states – the headquarters location of the institution; Gray puts them back in the markets where the students live. PES also provides easy-to-understand dashboards that use internal data to calculate program economics and track academic performance and diversity. PES enables collaborative, data-informed program evaluations that increase enrollment, strengthen financials, and increase DEI.

At age 52,Ted Smith founded Smithco in 1967 in Wayne, Pa., and that same year launched the well-known Red Rider utility truck, a vehicle to transport people and walking greens mowers. Ted always respected the golf course superintendent and only produced products using their input. Smithco has grown through the years, adding factories in Kansas and Wisconsin, where they manufacture sprayers, sweepers, greens rollers, bunker rakes and athletic field groomers. Smithco continues running strong with Don Smith as president, Bill Kenney as vice president and 70+ dedicated sales, engineering and administrative staff.
