The successful candidate will be a dynamic, innovative, visionary, and strategic leader, working closely with the Board of Trustees to develop and execute a strategy that aligns with the College's mission and vision. This role requires a passion for providing a quality education to a diverse student body, including both traditional and non-traditional students.
