Dean of the School of the Arts and the School of Humanities
Susquehanna University, a national liberal arts college in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, invites inquiries, nominations, and applications for its next dean of the School of the Arts and the School of Humanities. This is an on-site leadership role.
Susquehanna University is the future-ready institution for today, invested in cultivating intellectual grounding, active learning and global citizenship for all students. Renowned as one of the finest U.S. national liberal arts colleges, Susquehanna inspires and challenges 2,200 enterprising, bright-minded students studying the arts, business, humanities, and science. Students seize opportunities through exceptional worldwide internships, expert-guided research, and an acclaimed study-abroad program, leading to a transformative education that empowers graduates to realize their unique potential and lead a successful and meaningful life. Susquehanna University's 325-acre campus, noted for its beauty, is located in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, 50 miles north of Harrisburg in the scenic Susquehanna River Valley, about a three-hour drive from Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and New York City.
Reporting to the provost and dean of faculty, the dean is responsible for leading the schools comprised of 52 full-time faculty within ten departments: Art and Design, Communications, Education, English and Creative Writing, History, Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Theatre. In addition, the dean works collaboratively with academic staff and the other deans on university-wide matters, such as strategic vision, leadership, direction, and planning for the academic departments and programs. The dean promotes excellence in curricula, teaching and learning, academic advising, scholarship and creative activities, faculty development, and innovation that reflect the realities of contemporary higher education. The dean will hold an administrative appointment with faculty rank, teach one class per year, and advise some students. The dean is a member of the President's Senior Leadership Team, Provost Council, and the University Council.
Qualifications The successful candidate must hold an earned doctorate or terminal degree from an accredited institution in one of the disciplines represented in the schools and be eligible for tenure and the rank of full professor. They will have a record of exemplary undergraduate teaching, significant scholarly and professional accomplishments to be considered a senior scholar, and increasing administrative responsibility. The next dean should commit to collaborative models of learning, scholarship, and governance and demonstrate administrative success in higher education, an ability to prioritize institutional goals and approach them with innovation and collaboration with all key constituencies, and an entrepreneurial spirit to problem-solving and fundraising. Experience with change management; superior communication and relationship-building skills; strong team development, strategic planning, and fiscal competencies; and demonstrated respect for diversity of identities and experiences, an orientation toward equity and inclusion, and cultural competency will be essential considerations in the selection of the next dean of the School of the Arts and School of the Humanities.
