Colorado College invites nominations and applications for the
newly created position of Provost.
Ranked among the top 25 National Liberal Arts Colleges
by U.S. News & World Report, Colorado College
enjoys an unequivocal mission: to provide the fi nest liberal arts
education in the country. What makes Colorado College distinct is
its inimitable combination of programs, places, and people.
Colorado College is a unique institution in terms of geography and
pedagogy. Set in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado
College is the only selective liberal arts college in the region
and enrolls just over 2,000 undergraduate students. Through 37
academic departments, faculty engage students directly and prepare
them for leadership in the 21st century. The College’s signature
academic program, the “Block Plan,” is an intensive academic
schedule that allows students to immerse themselves in a single
subject for three and a half weeks rather than balancing several
courses over a semester. One example of the College’s innovative
work is the integration with the world-renowned Colorado Springs
Fine Arts Center (now the Fine Arts Center at Colorado College),
which has expanded arts programming and sparked new
interdisciplinary learning opportunities. Students at Colorado
College learn more than theoretical approaches; they learn to
embrace the importance of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints and
appreciate how diversity enriches their understanding of the
world.
As the College’s chief academic officer, the Provost will report
directly to the President and join an energetic community poised to
implement an updated strategic plan. S/he will provide vision for
and will implement Colorado College’s unparalleled and rigorous
academic program. The Provost will also play a central role in
faculty recruitment, promotion, and development and will work
closely with senior leadership on College-wide administrative
challenges and goals. The ideal candidate will: have a passion for
and an ability to articulate the value of the liberal arts; qualify
for tenure at the rank of full professor; demonstrate a commitment
to innovative leadership; possess a track record of administrative
accomplishments; and display an unwavering commitment to diversity
and inclusion.
For best consideration, please send all nominations and
applications to:

Partner

Associate
