Elizabeth Dorr Weithman

Managing Associate

Elizabeth's primary focus is academic leadership searches across our education practices. Since joining Isaacson, Miller in 2016, Elizabeth has worked on and led successful searches for presidents, heads of school, provosts, deans, research leaders, and functional leaders for a range of clients including Dartmouth College, Georgetown Day School, Illinois Institute of Technology, Indian Mountain School, New York University, Northeastern University, St. Lawrence University, Tulane University, and the University of Richmond. She brings particular expertise in searching for inaugural roles and in academic innovation at the intersection of the liberal arts and STEM and how technology informs the future of learning.

Elizabeth brings prior professional experience across higher education, PreK-12 education, and the nonprofit sector. As a graduate student, she worked at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) admissions office, supporting international recruitment and managing student and alumni admissions ambassador volunteers. Prior to graduate study, Elizabeth served as a senior admissions counselor and educator at Sea Education Association, an experiential study abroad program for students aboard traditional sailing ships. Beyond her passion for international and experiential education, she brings experience working for various environmental organizations.

Elizabeth volunteers through the alumni networks at both of her alma maters. At Williams, she served as a class fundraising agent and reunion chair, while at HGSE she has been an alumni admissions ambassador and graduate student mentor.
