1/26/12 President, Trocaire College Buffalo, New York

The Board of Trustees of Trocaire College invites nominations and applications for the position of President. A private, career-oriented, Catholic, baccalaureate institution that offers primarily two-year degrees, Trocaire strives to empower students toward personal enrichment, dignity, and self-worth through education in a variety of professions and in the liberal arts. Deeply rooted in Catholic tradition and the values of the Religious Sisters of Mercy, Trocaire College has 23 academic programs registered with New York State, including three baccalaureate programs in Healthcare Informatics, Nursing, and Radiologic Technology, and associates’ and certificate programs in computer network administration, diagnostic medical sonography, echocardiography, dietetic technology, general studies, healthcare informatics, health information technology, hospitality management, human resources management, massage therapy, medical assistant, nursing, radiologic technology, and surgical technology. The College is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools while individual programs are accredited by their appropriate accrediting agencies. Trocaire enrolls approximately 1300 full-time and part-time students, drawn largely from Western New York. One of sixteen Sisters of Mercy-sponsored colleges and universities, Trocaire is a member of the Conference for Mercy Higher Education, a national organization of higher educational institutions sponsored by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.

Described as “a college of second chances” with “transformational” impact, Trocaire has been led by five presidents since its inception in 1958. Under its first lay President, Dr. Paul B. Hurley, Jr., Trocaire has achieved a decade of organizational stability, fiscal health, and most recently, a period of significant investment and growth as the College experiences its largest enrollment. The College has added new Bachelor’s programs and a second educational site in nearby Lancaster, New York; invested in cutting edge instructional technology; and added several key administrative functions and academic program directors to support new and growing programs. It is well positioned for the future when the President steps down on June 30, 2012 after leading the College for 14 years.

The next President will need to continue this tradition of energetic and committed leadership of a growing institution while continuing to build a culture of care, concern, and mutual respect. The President is directly accountable to the Board of Trustees for leading Trocaire in ways that are grounded in its Catholic heritage and Mercy values. By directing the academic, administrative, and fiscal life of the College, the President provides leadership for all of Trocaire’s constituencies in promoting the Mission, professional standards, and commitment to community, diversity, and life-long service that define the College’s unique character.

The successful candidate must embody the qualities of integrity, competence, and compassion essential to an institution
committed to its Catholic identity and the charism of the Sisters of Mercy. S/he must possess a strong work ethic and an enthusiasm for building strong, long-lasting, and productive relationships that will advance the goals and mission of Trocaire College and build the resources needed for the College to attain its objectives. The President must be a confident, forward-thinking, strategic and innovative leader with an understanding of academic institutions, particularly small private Catholic colleges; a commitment to academic quality; appreciation for quality teaching, academic achievement, and successful educational outcomes; demonstrated success in fundraising and development strategies to increase the financial capitalization of the College; and the ability to build a strong team, to delegate, and to work collaboratively with others to implement a consistent organizational vision. The President will have a strong commitment to the mission of Catholic higher education and the presence to provide leadership on behalf of Trocaire. While the College is open to consideration of non-traditional candidates, an earned doctorate or terminal degree is strongly preferred.

The Board of Trustees has retained the services of Diversified Search to assist them in the search process. Screening will begin immediately and continue until an appointment is made. All communications will be treated confidentially.

12/13/11 Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of Detroit Mercy

University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), a Catholic University in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, invites nominations and applications for its next Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.  With a distinguished history of educational accomplishment and a long-standing tradition of service to the community, UDM is a vibrant resource for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.  The new provost will join recently appointed UDM President Antoine M. Garibaldi at a particularly exciting moment in the University’s history.  In addition to fully engaging faculty and academic programs as UDM’s chief academic officer, the provost will join the new president’s senior leadership team, building on previous accomplishments of this excellent urban Catholic university in an environment of renewed vitality and potential.  As the primary representative of the president in his absence, the provost’s impact will be a major factor in UDM’s future growth and development.

In 1990, University of Detroit (1877) and Mercy College of Detroit (1941) consolidated to establish University of Detroit Mercy, now providing a single clarion voice as the largest Catholic university in Michigan.  UDM enrolls over 5,500 students and offers a distinctive array of more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through its School of Architecture, College of Business Administration, School of Dentistry, College of Engineering and Science, College of Health Professions, College of Liberal Arts and Education, and School of Law.  A prominent feature of UDM’s profile is the culture of service that has spanned generations of students and faculty, and continues to grow through increased participation.  Service is deeply embedded in the fabric of the University, providing a platform for UDM’s effectiveness for educating in the urban context.

The UDM opportunity for academic leadership is exceptional.  The provost’s attention and creativity to assure that UDM’s central values are sustained across all academic units will be balanced by the challenge of advancing the distinctive contemporary missions of each school and college.  In addition, the provost will be expected to galvanize the development of an academic strategic plan that will support the larger goals of UDM’s new strategic plan, to finalize a core curriculum that has been under discussion, to identify new program opportunities, to nurture faculty, deans, and the provost’s administrative team, and to prepare for a successful reaccreditation in 2017.  The strength of UDM’s shared governance ethos is defined by long-standing collective bargaining agreements and the more recent development of a McNichols Faculty Assembly.  In concert with President Garibaldi’s leadership, the provost will be the chief advocate for the academic program and will consistently reinforce the centrality of the academic program.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to review the Provost Search Profile, which contains specific information regarding the application process and additional insights about the agenda for provostial leadership at:

www.udmercy.edu or www.agbsearch.com

Although applications will be accepted until the time that a new provost is selected, candidates should plan to submit materials by February 21, 2012 for the most favorable consideration. All inquiries should be directed to:

12/13/11 Dean of the College of Engineering and Science (E&S), University of Detroit Mercy

The University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), a Catholic University in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, invites nominations and applications for its next dean of the College of Engineering and Science (E&S).  With a distinguished history of educational accomplishment and a long-standing tradition of service to the community, UDM and the College of E&S are vibrant resources for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. 

In 1990, the University of Detroit (1877) and Mercy College of Detroit (1941) consolidated their resources to establish the University of Detroit Mercy, now providing a single clarion voice as the largest Catholic university in Michigan.  UDM enrolls over 5,500 students and offers a distinctive array of more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through their School of Architecture, College of Business Administration, School of Dentistry, College of Engineering and Science, College of Health Professions, College of Liberal Arts and Education, and the School of Law.  Service is deeply embedded in the fabric of the University, having spanned generations of students and faculty; it provides a platform for UDM’s effectiveness for educating in the urban context.

The new dean’s opportunity for academic leadership is profound.  As chief academic and administrative officer of the College of E&S, fully engaging the E&S faculty and academic programs, the dean will lead a program currently celebrating the Centennial anniversary of its founding.  The College of E&S is especially proud of its enrollment of minority and female engineering students, which constitutes 25% and 33% of the student body respectively.  Building on previous achievements,  E&S will look to the dean to reinforce the College’s distinctive “teacher scholar” ethos,  to enrich the opportunities for individual faculty research and scholarship, to energize enrollment  efforts, particularly  for engineering students, and to sustain and expand vital linkages to the external community, especially in the areas of fundraising and new program development.

The dean’s care and creativity to see that UDM’s central values are represented in the work of E&S, while advancing the college’s distinctive contemporary mission, will be important.  The dean will be expected to lead the development of a vision for E&S’s future, while also reflecting the larger goals of a developing overall academic plan for UDM.  The strength of UDM’s shared governance ethos is defined by long standing collective bargaining agreements and the more recent development of a McNichols Faculty Assembly.  In concert with the leadership of the president and the provost, the dean will be the chief advocate for the E&S program and will serve collaboratively on the Academic Leadership Team (council of deans).

Prospective candidates are encouraged to review the Dean’s Search Profile, which contains specific information about the application process and additional insights about the agenda for leadership in the College of E&S at:
