Dean, College of Health Posting Date:
December 18, 2024
Oregon State University (OSU), Oregon’s land grant institution, seeks a strategic and experienced leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Health.
Oregon State University serves over 38,000 students with more than 5,000 faculty and staff, including the fast-growing OSU Ecampus, which has ranked as a top 10 online program nationally by U.S. News & World Report for 10 consecutive years. With more NSF funding than all other Oregon comprehensive universities combined, OSU is one of only three institutions in the United States to hold land, sea, space, and sun grant designations, and it is Oregon’s only institution to hold both the Carnegie R1 (very research-intensive) designation and the Carnegie Community Engagement classification.
Central to OSU's mission is its commitment to providing exceptional 21st-century teaching, scholarship, research, discovery, innovation, extension services and public engagement. The next Dean will join Oregon State at an exciting time as the University welcomed Dr. Jayathi Murthy as its 16th president in fall of 2022 and launched its fifth consecutive university strategic plan, Prosperity Widely Shared, in 2024.
COLLEGE OF HEALTH The College of Health recently finalized its new strategic plan. The College trains the next generation of health and human sciences professionals in a world in which an exponential increase of current health graduates is needed to meet the needs of the future.
The faculty and staff of the College of Health seek solutions to society’s greatest health challenges, using science and community engagement to ensure health and well-being for individuals, families, and communities in Oregon and beyond.
In addition to the College’s growth and interdisciplinary focus on health across the lifespan, OSU College of Health is a standout among other schools and colleges of health and human sciences nationally and among land grant universities because of its level of community engagement.
