[AISWorld] Dean Position, Pamplin College of Business, Virginia Tech

[belanger at vt.edu]

Virginia Tech, a leading research university in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, welcomes applications and nominations for the next Dean of the
Pamplin College of Business. This is an exceptional opportunity to guide an
accomplished college with additional opportunities to expand boundaries of
research, education, and service in the modern comprehensive university. The
Dean will have the opportunity to build on new initiatives launched in
recent years that cut across disciplines and further develop an innovative
curricular structure that creates an educational continuum for students
interested in solving complex real-world problems. The Pamplin College of
Business is home to world class faculty across six departments and two
centers that position the college at the nexus of interdisciplinary
relationships at Virginia’s most comprehensive university. 

The Dean will join Virginia Tech at an exciting time of transition. The
university’s 16th President, Timothy D. Sands, who began his tenure in 2014,
has led the university community in a generational visioning process to
ensure Virginia Tech’s position as a global land-grant university leader.
This has been followed by university- and college-level strategic planning
that seeks to build on the key opportunities the university currently has to
make meaningful and visionary progress in the coming years. 

For Pamplin College of Business, Virginia Tech seeks an energetic leader,
visionary thinker, relationship builder, and strong communicator who will
broaden the role of the college throughout the university and multiply the
fundamental strengths that have been so integral to its past success. The
next Dean of Pamplin will continue to build strategic growth areas, identify
new opportunities for growth, and advocate for the college and the important
role it plays in the university’s research, outreach, and education mission.
The successful candidate will have a strong record of relevant research and
scholarship success and the ability to lead complex organizations. The Dean
will also be adept at championing the college externally to donors and
alumni, as well as state, national, and international leaders. 

A representative search committee has been convened to conduct the search
and to recommend finalists to the provost. The university is assisted in the
recruitment by the executive search firm Spencer Stuart. Nominations and
applications are welcome. All applications will be considered until the
position is filled. 

Nominations and inquiries should be sent to PamplinDean at SpencerStuart.com

Building on its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), Virginia Tech is
dedicated to InclusiveVT—an institutional and individual commitment to
community, diversity, and excellence. The institution seeks candidates who
adopt and practice their Principles of Community, which are fundamental to
the university’s ongoing efforts to increase access and inclusion and to
create a community that nurtures learning and growth for all its members.
Virginia Tech actively seeks a broad spectrum of qualified candidates to
join its community in preparing leaders for a diverse, global society and
encourages individuals across racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual
orientation, ability, international, and other identities to apply.
