Emory University seeks a dynamic, experienced, and entrepreneurial leader to serve as the next Senior Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education for Emory College of Arts and Sciences (Emory College or the College). Reporting to the Dean of Emory College and a member of the senior leadership team, the Senior Associate Dean will oversee the Office for Undergraduate Education (OUE) for the college that enrolls over two-thirds of all Emory undergraduate students and is the academic core of Emory University.
Founded in 1836, Emory College of Arts and Sciences encompasses a full range of academic departments within the performing arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. With more than 50 departments and programs, 86 majors, and 63 minors, Emory College’s over 5,000 students explore widely and dive deeply in rigorous courses of study that emphasize critical thinking, the nature of evidence from multiple perspectives, and the ability to effectively reason and communicate. The Office for Undergraduate Education supports Emory College students by providing academic services and offering programs designed to help them succeed during their undergraduate years and beyond. Additionally, OUE ensures the College is a thriving liberal arts core of a great research university and helps Emory’s dynamic intellectual community of students and faculty continue this tradition.
The incoming Senior Associate Dean will lead an office with respected staff and deep institutional knowledge to ensure the student experience is centered in the pursuit of academic success. Specifically, the Senior Associate Dean will build and deepen connections and partnerships within the College and across campus, strengthen policies and practices that center current students’ needs, lead and develop a well-respected team while assessing structures to make OUE’s work more efficient, maintain and enhance a strong customer service delivery mindset, and foster a data-driven culture to inform decision-making. The Senior Associate Dean will lead OUE to be a trendsetter and leader in student success through an entrepreneurial, collaborative, and adaptive spirit.
Due to OUE’s broad reach, this is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced and demonstrated collaborative leader who can connect offices across campuses and create a smoother experience for Emory University faculty, staff, and, most importantly, students.
