Vice President for Enrollment Management

Franklin & Marshall College is a residential college dedicated to excellence in undergraduate liberal education. Its aims are to inspire in young people of high promise and diverse backgrounds a genuine and enduring love for learning, to teach them to read, write, and think critically, to instill in them the capacity for both independent and collaborative action, and to educate them to explore and understand the natural, social, and cultural worlds in which they live. In so doing, the College seeks to foster in its students qualities of intellect, creativity, and character, that they may live fulfilling lives and contribute meaningfully to their occupations, their communities, and their world.

Strongly positioned within the top tier of the nation’s best liberal arts colleges (#39 on the 2023 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges list), Franklin & Marshall College (F&M) has become a force for transformative change not only in the lives of individual students and the College’s student body, but also across the American higher education sector.

F&M currently seeks a highly qualified Vice President for Enrollment Management to work with the president and other leaders within the community to build on a strategy that will advance the College on its clear, upward trajectory as a leading national liberal arts college. Founded in 1787 and located in the vibrant, livable city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, today F&M boasts approximately 2000 undergraduate students, is highly internationalized, and has great momentum created by a history of exceptional achievement. F&M recently concluded the largest campaign in Franklin & Marshall history, Now to Next, which exceeded the $200 million goal and set F&M on a trajectory toward a thriving future.
