About This Role:
Kansas State University seeks a dynamic and experienced leader to serve as the next Betty L. Tointon Dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences (HHS). The successful candidate must have the experience and vision to inspire, guide, and facilitate the College's strong and diverse faculty and staff in the advancement of high-quality teaching, research, service, and extension while providing leadership that assures the integrity, excellence, relevance, and success of the College's multi-faceted programs for the 21st century. The Dean reports directly to the Provost and Executive Vice President, Jesse Perez Mendez, and serves as a member of the Academic Leadership and Deans Councils.
Founded in 1858 as Bluemont Central College and converted to the Kansas State Agricultural College in 1863, K-State is the nation's first Land-Grant University and classified as an R-1 institution. K-State is proud to be defining the future of the Land-Grant University and to be a leading community and state partner in engagement and extension. With a main campus in Manhattan, Kansas, K-State also has campuses in Salina, Olathe, and online. The University serves approximately 20,000 students, of which three-quarters are undergraduates.
This position is ideal for a cutting edge, learner-centric leader with a proven history of successful growth initiatives, strong partnership and collaboration skills, and results-focused leadership. The next Dean will be required to sustain and grow the College of HHS's excellence in teaching, research, extension, and engagement; promote a team-oriented leadership approach; drive further development and growth in enrollment, disciplines, and degrees; and cultivate internal and external partnerships to propel advancement of the College's new strategic plan goals and priorities. The Dean must embrace and understand how a range of thought and background among learners, faculty, administration, and staff works to strengthen academic programs and enrich the University community.
The most successful candidates will have an earned terminal degree and a record of scholarship and teaching suitable for a tenured appointment as a full professor in one of the disciplines within the College of Health and Human Sciences or a closely related field.
