About the Role

The Company is seeking a Dean for its College of Business to lead the institution through a period of significant change and growth. The successful candidate will be instrumental in shaping the future of the College, with a focus on advancing strategic priorities, strengthening academic programs, and fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and student success. This role is particularly pivotal as the College prepares to transition into a new system and is committed to meeting the evolving needs of the regional workforce, including the development of new programs such as a baccalaureate degree in Agribusiness. Applicants for the Dean position should be accomplished academic leaders with a proven track record of supporting faculty excellence and a strong commitment to access and opportunity in education. The role requires a leader with a collaborative, transparent, and data-informed approach, who can build strong relationships both within the University and with external community partners. The Dean will be responsible for ensuring the quality and relevance of academic programs, supporting accreditation efforts, and actively engaging in workforce and economic development initiatives. The ideal candidate will have the vision, integrity, and strategic acumen to enhance the impact of the College on students and communities and to contribute to the mission of the institution during this period of exceptional opportunity and momentum.
