Position Summary:
|
Rollins College seeks a Dean for the Hamilton Holt School. The Holt School is one of three academic units within the College and operates alongside the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). Currently, the Holt School serves over 500 traditional-age and adult students seeking access to quality undergraduate and graduate programs within a personalized adult learning environment. A distinctive feature of the Holt School is that its programs are located within a traditional liberal arts ethos. Benefitting from strong support from Rollins’ administration and Board of Trustees, the Dean will join Holt at a critical juncture in its history, a time when the school is ready to develop a strategic plan that looks to the future, enhance its offerings, and deliver a value proposition that is unique in the central Florida area.
Founded in 1885, Rollins is Florida’s oldest post-secondary institution and has been an independent, nonsectarian, and coeducational comprehensive liberal arts college since its inception. Enrolling approximately 2,700 full-time undergraduate and 500 graduate students across the three schools of the College, Rollins strives to educate its students for global citizenship and responsible leadership through small class sizes, student-faculty research collaborations, integrating service-learning into the fabric of the Rollins experience, and hosting some of the world’s most preeminent thought-leaders for campus discussions and dialogue.
Reporting to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, the Dean is responsible for the management and oversight of undergraduate and graduate program offerings within the Hamilton Holt School. This leader will ensure that the educational programs and curriculum are nimble and stay relevant and responsive to the ever-changing needs of students and employers.
The ideal candidate will have a track record of progressive experience and demonstrated strategic success in adult education, and have a strong sense of the overarching challenges and opportunities facing continuing education as one of the fastest-growing and most competitive segments in higher education. The Dean should have extensive knowledge of the adult learner’s motivations for continuing education and be able to leverage that knowledge in a way that helps support enrollment efforts. Above all, the Dean must be highly student-centered, embody a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, possess an appreciation for liberal arts education, be able to advance initiatives within a faculty governance system and be supportive of the values and traditions of Rollins College.
