Building upon its proud history of innovation and leadership in higher education, the University has seen a period of significant growth and expansion. Norwich seeks an experienced and innovative individual to lead the University into its third century. The University offers a unique learning environment that combines the discipline and resilience of a military education with a challenging liberal arts and professional education.

Norwich's unique four-year residential student body, housed at the Northfield, Vermont campus, comprises two distinct, but interconnected, student populations. The two lifestyles, the Corps of Cadets and the civilian lifestyle, are guided by a common set of core values, providing a unique and synergistic student experience. The undergraduate program stands at approximately 2,400 students, of whom 1,600 constitute the Corp of Cadets. Norwich also offers exemplary graduate and continuing education programs. The University has expanded its impact by educating students through robust online bachelor's and master's degree programs, as well as certificate programs. The institution has 164 full-time and 221 part-time faculty as well as 430 full-time and 68 part-time staff members. With an operating budget of more than $104 million, an endowment of $217 million, and a highly successful $110-million bicentennial campaign nearing completion, the institution is positioned for ongoing financial stability.

The next President will bring demonstrated success in senior-level leadership that includes management of a substantial and complex organization along with a deep understanding of, and respect for, military culture and interest in academic leadership in a military environment. Among the highly desired qualifications and experiences sought in the next president are: prior military service, an earned terminal degree, an understanding of the issues affecting higher education institutions, and the ability to build successful connections with external constituencies and partners, including donor relations and fundraising.
