Executive Vice President and Provost
Sul Ross State University
Sul Ross State University (SRSU) invites applications for the position of Executive Vice President and Provost (referred to later as “provost”). SRSU is a public, comprehensive, master's degree granting, multi-campus university, providing on-site and distance education. The main campus is located in Alpine, Texas. Three additional campuses are located in Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde, Texas. The university enrolls approximately 3,000 students. The new provost is expected to begin July 1, 2019.
SRSU is mission focused and student centered. Rooted in the distinctive surroundings and history of the Big Bend and the US-Mexico border regions of Texas, Sul Ross State University provides accessible, comprehensive, and life changing education through high quality teaching, research, cultural awareness, creativity, and service.
The provost is the chief academic officer of the university and will play a significant leadership role on the executive team of President Bill Kibler, who is in his fifth year.
Candidates must have a doctorate or a terminal degree in a field related to one taught at Sul Ross State University; evidence of successful full-time teaching experience at regionally accredited colleges/universities; and a record of progressive advancement in the academy in such positions as department head, dean, or assistant/associate provost (or responsibilities equivalent to assistant/associate provost).
Because Sul Ross State University is part of a state university system yet operates much like an independent, tuition-dependent university, applications are encouraged from candidates with experiences in both the public and private, not-for-profit sectors of higher education. The search committee especially welcomes candidates who are bi-lingual (English and Spanish), women, persons of color, and educators who will fit well with the bi-national culture and heritage of the university's multiple service areas.
A complete profile can be found at https://academic-search.com/sites/default/files/SulRossProvostProfile.pdf. To apply, a candidate should prepare a thoughtful letter of interest addressing, as appropriate, the issues and qualifications described in the search prospectus; a current, long-form resume; and the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of at least five references and the candidate's relationship to each reference. (References will be called at a later stage and only with the candidate's foreknowledge.) Materials should be sent as an e-mail attachment to: srsuprovost@academic-search.com.
For full consideration by the search committee, applications should be submitted by January 21, 2019.

Organization
Working at Sul Ross State University
Called "Possibly the most underrated little university west of the Mississippi" by CBS's Dan Rather, Sul Ross State University in West Texas boasts a combination of small class sizes, an appreciation of both fine arts and the sciences and popular professional programs in a relaxed, friendly environment.
Who Is Sul Ross? Where is Sul Ross?
The university's name honors Lawrence Sullivan "Sul" Ross, the son of a pioneer Waco, Texas, family and a popular soldier, governor, educator and humanitarian. Founded in 1917 as a teacher college, Sul Ross continues to offer teacher education as one of its most popular programs. Others in high demand are business, criminal justice and agricultural and natural resource sciences. Sul Ross achieved university status in 1969.
The university, comprising 647 acres in Alpine, Texas, boasts a beautiful 93-acre main campus of exquisitely-detailed buildings and enjoys perhaps the most temperate climate in the state. Its situation in the Davis Mountains overlooks the center of the city below, yet it remains within easy reach of many local stores and restaurants. The university also has a 468-acre working ranch that serves its animal science programs.
Located in Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde, the Middle Rio Grande Campuses offer upper level and graduate courses. Our professors provide hands on learning in ways that relate to our students and their passion for higher education. Courses are accessible via interactive television, online learning communities, and face to face classes
Sul Ross State University is part of The Texas State University System, the largest college system in the state after the University of Texas and Texas A&M systems.
A Small Size, But Plenty to Do
With an enrollment of about 2,000 students on the main campus in Alpine, class sizes are small, guaranteeing a much higher level of personal attention from instructors and the university's support staff. But there's plenty for students to do in their free time: lots of student clubs and organizations, a thriving arts community and a strong athletic tradition.
The SRSU men's basketball team won the conference championship five times in the past 20 years, including the 1999 American Southwest Conference championship. The women's basketball team has also won five conference championships and played in eight national playoffs, even making it to the Final Four.
Similarly, the Lobos football and baseball teams have won five conference titles each in the past 20 years, including American Southwest Conference championships in the late 1990s. The Lady Lobos volleyball team has won nine conference championships in all.
Rodeo is significant part of the Sul Ross program, and the university is the birthplace of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. Many team members have gone on to become world champions, and 1951 graduate Harley May is a charter member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Hall of Fame.
