DEAN
EDWARD R. MURROW COLLEGE OF
COMMUNICATION
Washington State University, one of the nation’s leading land grant institutions, announces a nationwide search for a new Dean of the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication
Washington State University conducts transformational research
and provides world-class education to more than 27,000
undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Founded in 1890
in Pullman, Washington State is one of only 96 public and private
institutions recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as a “very high
research activity” university. In addition to the Pullman campus,
WSU has campuses in Spokane, the Tri-Cities, and Vancouver, and a
developing campus in Everett; four research and extension centers
within the state and extension offi ces in every county; and a
Global Campus with online degree programs accessible worldwide. The
University’s annual operating budget expenditures are nearly $1
billion.
Named for its most illustrious alumnus, the Edward R. Murrow
College of Communication offers degrees at the baccalaureate,
masters, and doctoral levels. In addition to its Pullman location,
the College offers programs at the University’s campuses in
Vancouver and Everett. The College offers a Bachelor of Arts
program in communication and society, journalism and media
production, and strategic communication. Master’s and Doctoral
programs focus on media and health promotion; media, society, and
politics; and science and environmental communication, along with
an online MA in strategic communication. The College enjoys
custom-designed teaching, research and production facilities that
have allowed to the College to rank among the most productive
communication colleges in the country. The College’s current
undergraduate enrollment exceeds 1,150, in addition to a
postgraduate enrollment of 140. Additional information about the
Murrow College of Communication can be found at murrow.wsu.edu.
It is expected that strong candidates for the position will have
demonstrated an ability to lead and manage a complex academic
organization and will possess an outstanding record as an
accomplished scholar and educator who merits tenure at the rank of
Full Professor. The Dean is expected to be a champion of both
teaching and research and be devoted to excellence and shared
governance. The next Dean should be a collaborator who possesses
exemplary interpersonal and communication skills; impeccable
integrity; a collegial and consultative demeanor; a team
orientation; an astute understanding of finances; a
student-centered approach to academic leadership; and the ability
to acquire resources from private and public sources.
While applications and nominations will be accepted until a new
Dean is selected, interested parties are encouraged to submit their
materials to our consultant at the
address below by October 15, 2017 to assure optimal
consideration.
