California Lutheran University (Cal Lutheran) seeks an experienced, inclusive, and collaborative leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Located in Thousand Oaks, California, founded in 1959, and formally recognized as a Hispanic-Serving Institution since 2016, Cal Lutheran is home to 2,297 undergraduate and 1,054 graduate students. Students come from 67 countries and represent a wide spectrum of faiths and spirituality. The University's dedicated, accomplished faculty works with small classes of students who are open-minded – about ideas, about people, and about faith – and are seeking to grow as individuals. Both in and out of the classroom, everyone at Cal Lutheran is committed to helping each student pursue their passions to discover their purpose. By following that purpose, they can transform their communities – and the world. Cal Lutheran is made up of six academic units which serve students across a range of academic departments and deliver personalized classroom experience that the University is known for.

As the largest unit at Cal Lutheran, the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) provides the historical and intellectual foundation of undergraduate, liberal arts education. The College of Arts and Sciences values the diverse experiences, perspectives, and knowledge of the University's academic community. The vision of the College is to cultivate a liberal arts learning environment that is student-centered, welcoming, and inclusive. The College encourages students, faculty, and staff to explore and expand their knowledge and to contribute their talents and abilities to fully engage their communities and the world with integrity.​ The mission of the College is to mentor students and equip them to make meaningful contributions on campus and beyond. The College's strong intellectual training for undergraduates is driven by dedicated faculty who innovate teaching to ignite students' critical thinking and creativity in courses that integrate self-discovery and learning. The College honors the Lutheran tradition in higher education in the liberal arts by educating the whole person in a complex and dynamic world, encouraging students to question the status quo, and engaging with culturally diverse perspectives.

The next Dean of the COAS will have a unique opportunity in leading the College into a new era of innovation and growth. The Dean will bring deep affinity for the liberal arts tradition and be expected to support faculty achievement, raise the profile and resources of the College to the benefit of faculty and students, elevate student success, build collaborations across campus units through relationships, and provide modern, transparent, and effective leadership for the College.

As a senior academic leader, the next Dean will serve as an effective advocate and partner for the College within the University and will act as the College's chief executive and intellectual leader. This leader will have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging. The next Dean must possess superior academic credentials and a record of scholarly achievement that merits the rank of a tenured professor at Cal Lutheran. A demonstrated and progressive track record of administrative leadership is required. The next Dean should also demonstrate an ability to lead, envision, and innovate; to engage and unite constituents; to listen carefully and communicate persuasively; to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively across the University; to understand and support the needs of all disciplines; to secure external funding; to develop partnerships beyond the University; and to operate the College's administrative and budgetary functions with a high level of skill. In addition, a steadfast commitment to the mission of Cal Lutheran and the success of faculty, staff, and students flourishing in a dynamic university is essential.

WittKieffer is assisting California Lutheran University in this search. For fullest consideration, candidate materials should be received by November 13, 2025.

The Tougaloo College Board of Trustees seeks nominations and applications from exceptional leaders to serve as its 15th President.

Founded in 1869, Tougaloo College is a private, historically Black college affiliated with the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church, located on the northern edge of Jackson, Mississippi. From the start, Tougaloo was an inclusive institution—a beacon of hope for the disenfranchised—enrolling students irrespective of religious affiliation, fighting against segregation, and providing financial aid so all could attend. A school with a long history of advocating social justice, its vision of a holistic education centered on civic engagement with global prospects continues today. Tougaloo played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, operating as a "safe haven" for activists to meet, organize, and strategize. True to its motto, "Where History Meets the Future," Tougaloo honors its rich legacy while empowering students to shape a better tomorrow. The College offers over 30 programs of study leading to associate, undergraduate, and graduate degrees, and serves approximately 620 students.

The President of Tougaloo College provides leadership and direction for the College and reports to the Board of Trustees. The Board and the College seek a new President to build on its legacy and bring the College community together to shape a strategy that leverages Tougaloo's strengths and adapts to an ever-changing higher education landscape. The next President will be expected to articulate Tougaloo's value proposition and elevate the College; ensure financial sustainability and growth of the College; expand enrollment and student success; build organizational infrastructure; enhance the physical plant; and champion community engagement and social justice.

Tougaloo seeks a student-centered President who is committed to the values, goals, and mission of the College and has the energy and imagination to build upon the College's current momentum to lead it boldly and creatively into the future. To do so will require strong financial, business, and marketing skills; a demonstrated record of leading strategic change and successful fundraising; and the ability to articulate a compelling vision for the College's future. It is essential that the next President demonstrate significant experience at the senior level of an institution or organization of substantial complexity, along with proven leadership ability and managerial success. An earned doctorate (including but not limited to a Ph.D., J.D., or Ed.D.) is preferred. In lieu of a terminal degree, candidates may have a demonstrated record of successful executive leadership and comparable credentials and/or experience sufficient to warrant the respect and confidence of the community.

Faculty oversee more than 50 academic programs in the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and the arts, including new interdisciplinary Pathways. Wooster employs over 256 talented and dedicated full time staff to support the teaching mission of the College.
