Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business invites applications for the position of Senior Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs. This is a time of great academic and program innovation in the School and the University, particularly in the areas of international business, business and society, and interdisciplinary studies. Our new Senior Associate Dean will help Georgetown University meet its mission: “to develop and educate principled leaders with a global mindset to be in service to business and society.”
Reporting to the Dean, the Senior Associate Dean is responsible for the management and delivery of undergraduate programs at McDonough for more than 1,400 students across six majors and several interdisciplinary programs. These include programs with Georgetown College and the Walsh School of Foreign Service.
We seek candidates with demonstrated capacity for collaborative leadership. Our new dean will offer creative and effective leadership on admissions, curricular development, program development, pedagogies, student advising and mentoring, and academic standards. Applicants with prior experience in designing (and teaching in) academic programs are especially welcome. A deep care for the quality of the student academic and co-curricular experience is essential. Georgetown has an active alumni and parent network, and the Senior Associate Dean will be expected to participate in outreach to them. Among the Senior Associate Dean’s core partners at Georgetown are the faculty and staff both at McDonough and at other colleges of Georgetown. The Senior Associate Dean will also represent McDonough to many external constituencies.
The successful candidate will have some combination of these attributes and skills: an earned doctorate or other terminal degree; five or more years of experience in higher education either as a faculty member or as an administrator; experiences in an international organization or setting; prior budgeting and financial management experience; and a commitment to enhancing student diversity.
