Vice President for Academic Affairs – Saint Anselm College

Saint Anselm College, a Catholic, Benedictine liberal arts institution, seeks an experienced academic administrator to serve as its next Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA).  The next Vice President for Academic Affairs will join the College community to build on the College’s history of success while positioning it solidly for the next decade.

The Vice President for Academic Affairs will be a visible leader on campus, with an impressive record of scholarship and teaching. The VPAA must be a seasoned administrator with experience in higher education who can build upon Saint Anselm’s legacy while providing vision and leadership to foster academic excellence and innovation and fulfill the College’s Catholic, Benedictine mission.

The VPAA oversees all academic deans, departments, and programs as well as a variety of academic support functions. The VPAA will work alongside a highly talented and passionate faculty to ensure that academic affairs plays a central role in recruiting, retaining and serving students at the College. The scope of the role includes almost 2,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students; over 90 academic programs; nearly 221 faculty (full- and part-time); and 85 administrators/staff.

Ideal candidates will have experience in thinking creatively and implementing new academic programs, strengthening existing programs for todays’ students, while building consensus across the College community and staying true to the academic mission of promoting a transformative living/learning environment to develop engaged citizen-leaders who think critically, demonstrate empathy, and are committed to social justice and the common good. 

What makes an Anselmian education distinctive and exceptional are students’ deep involvement and integrative growth guided by a Benedictine-inspired educational philosophy. For more information, visit Saint Anselm’s website at: https://www.anselm.edu/.
