About the Role
The Company is seeking a Dean for its School of Nursing, a role that demands an innovative and compassionate leader with a strong commitment to the integration of academic excellence and Christian values. The successful candidate will serve as the chief academic and administrative officer, responsible for the quality of the school's academic programs, faculty, and strategic alignment with the university's mission. This leadership position requires a seasoned individual with a distinguished record in higher education, a doctorate or terminal degree, and a history of promoting a research culture and excellent clinical practice. The Dean will be expected to provide visionary leadership, enhance the educational experience for undergraduate and graduate students, and lead substantial fundraising efforts to support the school's strategic priorities.
Key qualifications for the Dean include a strong background in strategic planning, fiscal management, and the ability to engage in development and fundraising. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in a nursing discipline, although those with a DNP and a proven track record of supporting faculty research will also be considered. The role involves fostering a collaborative spirit within the school, creating clinical opportunities for students, and leading the school in its mission to prepare nurses for professional practice, healthcare leadership, and global service. The Dean should be a leader of impeccable integrity, with a personal and professional commitment to the highest ethical standards, and the ability to authentically express a personal faith journey.
