Vice President for Student Life

Centre College seeks an innovative, strategic, and forward-looking leader for the newly defined role of Vice President for Student Life. Reporting to President Milton C. Moreland, who took office in July 2020, the Vice President will partner with students, faculty, staff, and administrators to design and implement a new, holistic vision for the student experience at Centre that draws upon national best practices and student development theory. Centre’s new Vice President will create initiatives and policies that are proactive, transparent, and inclusive of students’ multiple and varied experiences and identities. As Centre continues to welcome a student body that includes more international students and more students from underrepresented backgrounds, the Vice President will be a leading advocate for ensuring that Centre is a place where all students feel connected and can thrive. As part of that effort, the Vice President will also have the opportunity to work closely with faculty, staff, and administrators across the College to reimagine the future of residential life at Centre, as part of the College’s ambitious and ongoing strategic planning process.

Located in Danville, Kentucky, Centre College is a small, independent, and selective educational community dedicated to study in the liberal arts as a means to develop the intellectual, personal, and moral potential of its students. A long and rich tradition of tolerance, freedom of enquiry, and community informs all aspects of college life. As one of the nation’s premier liberal arts colleges, Centre has been consistently ranked among the top 50 National Liberal Arts Colleges by U.S. News & World Report and is a proud member of Colleges That Change Lives.

The new Vice President should be an experienced leader with a broad and deep understanding of best practices in modern student affairs, including fluency and sophistication around matters of diversity, equity, and inclusion and an active understanding of the interconnectedness of academic and student affairs.
