Reporting to the Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Shelly Chabon, the Dean serves as a vital member of the University’s Academic Leadership Team (ALT). As the chief executive and academic officer for the College, the Dean will set the standard for intellectual engagement and accomplishment by providing a strategic vision for and operational leadership of all school programs.

The successful candidate will be a nationally recognized, inclusive, and an entrepreneurial leader able to infuse CUPA with a sense of common purpose and to create a record of accomplishment that advances the mission of the University. Requirements include a record of distinguished research, teaching, and/or public service; administrative experience; proven success in external fund development; and credentials that merit appointment at the rank of full professor in the College. Experience in addressing the social issues of the widest variety of communities will be highly valued. This position requires vision, skill, experience, and creative leadership to help shape the future of the College and the University as a whole.
