About the Opportunity The University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA), a nationally recognized arts conservatory, is seeking the next Dean of the Division of Liberal Arts (DLA). The incoming Dean will join UNCSA at an exciting and pivotal time. As one of the nation's preeminent public arts conservatories, UNCSA prepares gifted emerging artists for professional careers at the highest levels. Within this creative environment, the Division of Liberal Arts plays a vital role – helping students situate their artistry within a broader intellectual, cultural, and humanistic context, while providing the required coursework necessary for them to graduate with a bachelor's degree in their arts area. This next Dean will craft a shared vision for DLA that aligns with UNCSA's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan and will leverage the support from university leadership and the talented and dedicated DLA faculty and staff. Reporting to the Provost, the Dean provides both strategic vision and operational leadership for the Division, working collaboratively across the university to strengthen student success, foster academic excellence, and ensure the liberal arts remain an integral component of every student's education. The next Dean will be a skilled academic leader who values both the creative and scholarly dimensions of education and can navigate the unique culture of an arts institution while advocating for the enduring relevance of a strong liberal arts foundation. About the University The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is a top-ranked creative and performing arts conservatory in Winston-Salem, N.C. Founded in 1963 as America's first public arts conservatory, UNCSA celebrates more than 50 years of training wildly creative, gifted and hardworking young artists to do what they love, and do it brilliantly! UNCSA is the only school in the U.S. composed of five arts conservatories on one campus: Dance, Design & Production, Drama, Filmmaking, and Music. The University serves over 1300 students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate level, selected by audition or portfolio review and interview process. Along with rigorous arts training, students receive intensive academic instruction through the Division of Liberal Arts and the High School Academic Program. About the Team The Division of Liberal Arts has a rich history at UNCSA serving as one of the key cornerstones of UNCSA's bachelor's degree. The curriculum is designed to develop knowledge and skills that enrich students' artistic work, to nourish them as multi-faceted individuals who are curious about the world, and to empower students to be culturally attuned, socially engaged, and responsible global citizens.

The DLA is comprised of two staff members and approximately 25 full-time and adjunct faculty with disciplinary expertise and backgrounds in visual and performing arts, music, history, humanities, and science; they are educators who are passionate, enterprising and committed to establishing a strong liberal arts foundation for UNCSA students. About the Role The Dean of DLA will provide strategic vision and operational leadership for the Division. The Dean will partner and collaborate with senior academic and administrative leaders across the University, including the deans of UNCSA's five arts conservatories, the dean of high school academics, and the vice provosts.

 The College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John's University (SJU) invite inquiries, applications, and nominations for the position of Provost. Located in St. Joseph, Minnesota and Collegeville, Minnesota respectively, the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are two nationally recognized liberal arts colleges that have operated in partnership for decades. In 2021, CSB and SJU adopted a groundbreaking new governance and leadership model known as Strong Integration, operating with a single president, an integrated leadership team, and unified administrative functions while preserving their distinctive single-sex missions. In this capacity, the Provost supports more than 228 faculty members and 149 staff across twenty-seven majors, thirty-nine minors, select graduate programs including CSB's graduate nursing program and SJU's School of Theology and Seminary, and a robust division of student development programs. The Provost is expected to assume office on July 1, 2026. Operating within the Strong Integration framework, the Provost leads a truly unified academic and student life enterprise across both CSB and SJU, providing strategic vision and operational leadership for all academic programs, curriculum development, faculty affairs, student life, and student success. As a member of the senior leadership team, the Provost works in close partnership with other senior leaders and President Brian Bruess to develop and implement institutional strategy, ensuring that educational and student life priorities align with the broader mission of the institutions. The Provost provides direct oversight to four key leadership positions: the Dean of Curriculum and Assessment, the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of Student Academic Success, and the Associate Provost for Student Success. Through these leaders and their teams, the Provost ensures excellence in teaching and learning, supports faculty scholarship and development, advances student retention and completion goals, and maintains the academic quality and integrity that have made CSB and SJU nationally recognized liberal arts institutions. The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University seek a Provost who will embrace, uphold, and advance the Catholic and Benedictine mission that defines and unites the two institutions while advancing academic excellence and fostering innovation that keeps pace with student needs and workforce demands. The Provost serves as the champion for and steward of CSB and SJU's core academic community: its faculty and oversees student affairs through deep collaboration with student affairs colleagues. Beyond educational vision and operational excellence, the Provost will bring the strategic foresight, communication acumen, and relational capacity to inspire confidence, nurture community, and galvanize collaboration across the two campuses. The expected salary range for this position is $240k-$260k. The search for CSB and SJU's next Provost is being assisted by Maya Ranchod Kirkhope at Academic Search. Applications, nominations, and expressions of interest can be submitted in confidence to CSBSJUProvost@academicsearch.org. Though applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled, only those materials received by December 11, 2025 are assured full consideration. For more information about the institution, position, qualifications, and application process, please review the search profile, available for download on the Academic Search website. Additional information about the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University is available at https://www.csbsju.edu/.
