Dean of the School of the Arts

Institution web site: http://www.vcu.edu/
Location: Richmond, VA 23284
Posted date: June 7, 2010

The VCU School of the Arts seeks a deeply experienced, imaginative and dynamic leader, with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, to advance the school’s position as the nation’s premier public school of the arts. It operates in the context of a distinguished urban, public research institution and one of Virginia’s largest universities.

VCUarts educates approximately 3,000 undergraduates and more than 200 graduate students, in undergraduate and graduate programs both in Richmond and in Qatar.  Students are taught by 125 full-time faculty members, more than 200 others who bring direct artistic experience into the classroom on a part-time basis and 50 administrative staff.  They are organized in departments and programs:  art foundation, art education, art history, cinema, communication arts, craft/material studies, dance & choreography, fashion design & merchandising, graphic design, interior design, kinetic imaging, music, painting & printmaking, photography & film, sculpture + extended media and theatre.  The school has an annual budget of $22 million; the budget for the program in Qatar is $38 million.  Its endowment of $8.5 million includes assets both permanently restricted and quasi endowment.  The more than 18,000 alumni include leaders in the arts and design across the country and abroad.

Reporting to the provost and vice president for academic affairs, the new dean, as chief executive officer, will have responsibility for providing leadership in educational, research, community outreach and fund development activities to sustain and enhance the outstanding reputation of the School of the Arts.  The dean will take the lead in shaping the future of the school, articulating a vision that defines its standard of excellence, the directions of its growth and the new and multi-disciplinary connections that are possible across the university and abroad within the design campus of Qatar’s Education City.

The university seeks a dean who will encourage a strong sense of collegiality internally, and be the voice of the school, championing its teaching, research, and creative agenda and its successes. The dean will assure continued focus on students, both undergraduate and graduate, encouraging their quality and their diversity and providing the services and the support to ensure their success.  With the faculty, the dean will be responsible for the recruitment and retention of the faculty and their development, assuring the school’s excellence. The university envisions the opportunity to shape new directions programmatically and to extend those now in place, building on existing strengths in the university and the school.  The dean will recognize, reward, facilitate, and actively participate in VCUarts’ scholarly and creative activities.

Additionally, the dean will be responsible for all matters relating to the management of the resources of the school, including its academic programs; its faculty, staff, and students; its facilities, and its budget.  The dean also will extend partnerships with the public and private sectors, including the VCUarts Pollak Society, expanding connections in support of the development of the school and leading that effort within the school and among its constituents, including its alumni.

The dean will be part of the senior leadership of the university, working with other senior officers and deans to realize the university’s promising and challenging future.

The university anticipates that the new dean will bring a distinguished record of academic and management success and a record of scholarly achievement; however, candidates whose leadership abilities and outstanding accomplishments in the arts and/or design could translate well to academia also are welcomed and will receive serious attention.  He or she will have demonstrated the ability to foster a climate where learning and artistic discovery flourish.  The dean will show the ability to balance strong academic and intellectual leadership with effective external relationship-building and resource development.

The search is currently underway and will continue until the position is filled.  Nominations are welcome.  Confidential inquiries may be directed to the Witt/Kieffer consultant supporting this search, Mary Elizabeth Taylor, at 212 686-2676.
