Utah State University (USU) invites nominations and applications from individuals to provide outstanding leadership and a dynamic vision as the inaugural Dean of the newly formed S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
USU is a Carnegie-recognized R1 institution and Utah’s land-grant and space-grant university, recently reported more than $450 million in annual research expenditures. Utah State enrolls nearly 30,000 students, including more than 3,000 graduate students and over 8,000 students at its eight statewide campuses, 22 education centers, and online programs.
The university’s land-grant research dates back to the establishment of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888. The S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (QANR) is the most recent iteration of the college that now encompasses agriculture and natural resources, and also a broad range of degree and certificate programs at the university’s main campus in Logan and through USU’s statewide campus system.
As chief academic officer for the S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the dean will report directly to the Provost and Executive Vice President.
