Texas Southern University (TSU) invites nominations, applications, and inquiries in its search for a visionary leader to serve as the next Dean of the Graduate School.

TSU, located in Houston, is a comprehensive doctoral university offering a broad academic portfolio with over 100 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs and concentrations organized into ten academic colleges and schools. Since its inception in 1927, Texas Southern has been highly regarded as a premier producer of talent. It has grown from 300 students in its first summer to serving approximately 8,500 students today. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, TSU honors its designation as a special-purpose institution for urban programming and research. TSU is one of 13 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to hold the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education's coveted status as a Doctoral University of High Research Activity (R2). Its research prowess is demonstrated by grant awards increasing 48% over the past two fiscal years.

The Graduate School was established as a unit of TSU when the institution was created by the Texas State Legislature in 1947. TSU offers 27 master's, three doctor of education, four Ph.D. programs, and several specialist degrees tailored for success in many fields of study. The Graduate School's major goal is to provide an environment that supports the enhancement of research, teaching, and other scholarly pursuits for students seeking advanced degrees in specialized academic disciplines. Through graduate study, a high level of scholarship is encouraged, and the qualities of industry, intellectual honesty, thoroughness, and accuracy are emphasized by the involvement of students in courses, seminars, independent study, and research.

Reporting to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Carl B. Goodman, who during his tenure has emphasized TSU's pursuit of R1 classification through strengthening the graduate research enterprise, the Dean of the Graduate School at TSU serves as the chief administrative officer for all graduate programs within the university's schools and colleges. The Dean provides strategic leadership, fosters academic excellence, and enhances the overall graduate student experience. This role involves overseeing curriculum development, faculty support, student recruitment and retention, and external partnerships.

The successful candidate must hold a terminal degree in any academic field of study from an appropriately accredited institution and have a distinguished record of teaching, scholarship, and service that merits appointment to the rank of full professor with tenure in one of the units at the university. Candidates must also have significant administrative experience in higher education, with preference given to those with experience in graduate school administration and a record of teaching excellence at the graduate level, with preference given to candidates who have taught in both undergraduate and graduate settings. Candidates should also have a record of leadership in research, graduate programs, or other initiatives serving academically talented undergraduate students.

Binghamton University, a public R1 higher education institution with a vibrant and welcoming main campus in Vestal, New York seeks a strategic, inclusive, and engaging leader as the university's eighth president. Named a "Public Ivy" by Forbes, Binghamton is one of four pre-eminent University Centers in the State University of New York system, institutions focused on undergraduate and graduate excellence as well as groundbreaking research.

Consistently ranked among the top 75 universities by US News & World Report, Binghamton stands out as one of the most selective public institutions in the nation. Binghamton received 60,000 undergraduate student applications for fall 2025 and approximately 4,000 transfer requests. The university welcomed approximately 3,000 new undergraduate students in the class of 2029. This success stems directly from Binghamton's commitment to higher education for a diverse array of students that combines outstanding graduate education, research, scholarship, and creative endeavor with the best undergraduate programs available at any public university.

The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate degrees across six dynamic schools and colleges to students who are ambitious, driven, and highly successful. The more than 14,000 undergraduates boast an average SAT score of 1400. Graduate programs are equally impressive, enrolling about 4,000 students across more than 90 graduate programs.

Rankings, public perception of Binghamton, and admissions applications are at an all-time high after a series of achievements. The conferral of R1 Carnegie Classification status is national recognition of Binghamton's research success. The Johnson City health sciences complex, first funded in 2016 and opened in 2018, has enabled the expansion of the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences and the launch of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In 2022, Binghamton brought together five departments to create the new School of the Arts within Harpur College, seeking to anticipate arts trends in the 21st century. The largest comprehensive fundraising campaign in the university's history was completed in 2024, exceeding its stretch goal to raise more than $260 million. Given these accomplishments and many more, the next president of Binghamton University can build on a strong foundation and lead the campus and its many stakeholders into a bright future.

Specifically, the successful candidate will be expected to develop a new and exciting vision for the university and to elevate its reputation nationally and internationally. The next president will lead a robust fundraising effort, maintain the supportive environment for which Binghamton is widely known, and deepen relationships with the local community and partners around the globe. In addition, the president must recognize the challenges facing all higher education institutions – enrollment drops, demographic shifts, and the questioning of a college degree among them – and develop a vision and plan for the future of Binghamton that fosters continued success and growth.

Reporting to the chancellor of the SUNY system, the Binghamton University president works closely with the Binghamton University Council and the Binghamton University Foundation Board in implementing a shared vision. Binghamton University also has a strong tradition of shared governance in which the President and a team of exceptional senior leaders work closely with the Faculty Senate, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, the Professional Staff Senate, the Student Association, and the Graduate Student Organization. Binghamton recently won SUNY's shared governance award for 2024-25.
