Upon arrival, the Dean will listen to and learn from key stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and university leaders, to identify and establish a clear vision for the College. The Dean will coalesce a well-defined set of goals and strategy for moving the College forward, recognizing the environment in which the university as a whole is operating. To do so, the Dean will bring an understanding of the landscape of higher education, business education, and the role of rankings on the national landscape, while also attending to the unique mission ecosystem of the College and of CSUF. The success of the College's vision will rely on the Dean's ability to unite diverse stakeholders to ensure that all groups are excited about and engaged by the collective vision and their role in its execution.

Furthermore, the Dean should strive to be accessible, inclusive, and consultative across campus, but especially within the College, recognizing and supporting the key roles of faculty and staff in providing a high quality education which leads to student success in the workplace. The Dean will be an accomplished manager - aware of how to lead leaders and not micromanage - and will oversee a team and the daily operations of a large, complex, unionized organization. The Dean will prioritize management and leadership needs to identify highest priority activities, opportunities for delegation, and the most effective and efficient operationalization for the College. In addition, the Dean will support the professional development and satisfaction of College staff and faculty. A critical part of this work will be attracting and retaining high quality faculty, both full- and part-time, listening well, engaging in collegial and shared decision-making, and ensuring faculty success in teaching and research. Support high-quality education in an unprecedented environment CSU Fullerton has long been a tremendous educator of students, blending theory with practice and connecting students with faculty and with opportunities in the business community.

The Dean will bring understanding of high-impact teaching practices, for this pandemic disruption and even beyond, and the shift that must happen to remain cutting edge and competitive in providing top tier education to students, while continuing to engage faculty in their educational efforts. Additionally, in a rapidly changing marketplace, the Dean must work closely with faculty and other stakeholders to ensure that the current curriculum is reflective of a dynamic and fast-paced global landscape. Serve as a collaborative, engaged, and inclusive campus leader The Dean will set the cultural tone of the College, including attending to student needs; supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion; and ensuring the College is a valued partner across the university, helping the College become a leader among all colleges within CSUF. The College serves large numbers of first generation and underrepresented minority students, who bring to their college careers remarkable skillsets of grit, work-life balance, cultural competency, and ability to carry multiple competing priorities (such as full-time paid work and other family responsibilities alongside schooling). The opportunity to have an impact on student lives, professional development, and careers is unprecedented, and this Dean will embrace a student-centered ethos. In addition, the Dean will seek to understand the current climate of diversity and inclusion in the College, including the strides already made and areas still in need of improvement to advance this critical strategic priority. Finally, recognizing the breadth of CSUF, the Dean will seek opportunities for collaboration across the university, seeking synergies and bridging the work of the College to the community as an entity. The university prides itself on being a collegial and civil place, and the Dean will partner with others to push forward efforts to raise the work of the whole.
