UMC Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic & Student Affairs Search
The University of Minnesota is seeking nominations and applications for the position of Senior Vice Chancellor (SVC) of the University of Minnesota Crookston (UMC). The Vice Chancellor reports to the Chancellor and serves as the ranking executive officer in the Chancellor’s absence. The SVC is the chief academic officer and provides overall leadership for academic and student affairs at UMC, striving toward excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship across the disciplines.
The preferred candidate will be a visionary and experienced academic leader who possesses excellent judgment and diplomacy, personal and professional integrity, and a reputation for working collegially with both internal and external constituencies.
