California State University (CSU) Bakersfield
9001 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, CA 93311, USA
Description: California State University, Bakersfield Dean, School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering Position Profile California State University, Bakersfield (CSU Bakersfield) invites inquiries, nominations, and applications from visionary and inspiring leaders interested in serving as the University's next Dean of the School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering (Dean NSME). The University Founded in 1965, California State University, Bakersfield is a regional, comprehensive university serving the San Joaquin Valley of California. The University's service area covers nearly 25,000 square miles and is home to a socially, economically, and ethnically diverse population. CSU Bakersfield is the only four-year granting degree institution within a 100-mile radius and, as a result, plays a vital role in the educational obtainment, economic development, and quality of life of its community. CSU Bakersfield is proud to be a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI); 61% of the University's students are Latino, 18% are Caucasian or White, 7% are Asian, 5% are African-American, and 2% are multiracial. The University serves more than 11,000 students on its main campus in Bakersfield and on its Antelope Valley campus and counts over 50,000 alumni from its four schools: Arts and Humanities; Business and Public Administration; Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering; and Social Sciences and Education. The University offers undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate and credential programs, and a doctoral program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.). In Fall 2020, CSU Bakersfield serves a total of 11,397 full- and part-time students; 86% of students are undergraduate, 7% credential, and 7% are graduate/post-baccalaureate students. The University has received a number of accolades in recent years, including: The Equality of Opportunity Project for the upward mobility of its students; Campaign for College Opportunity - Champion for Higher Education for excelling at enrolling and graduating Associate Degree for Transfer earners; The Wall Street Journal "A Top University for Student Inclusion;" American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), The Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Teacher Education; California State University System in STEM grant funding; and Carnegie Foundation's Community Engagement Classification. The impact of CSU Bakersfield's students, faculty, staff, research centers, institutions, and community activities resonate throughout the region. The University continues to shape the future of Kern County, and each year CSU Bakersfield contributes thousands of new alumni to the community's educated and skilled workforce. With over 70 percent of its alumni remaining and working within the Central Valley, the University is a significant contributor to the area's ongoing social, cultural, and economic development. Runner on the Rise In October 1970, students attended their first day of classes at California State University, Bakersfield. It was then when students voted for Rowdy the Roadrunner as the college mascot. These first Roadrunners are now part of an esteemed group of over 56,000 alumni who have transformed their lives at CSU Bakersfield. Since then, the University has risen in national rankings for its economic value and commitment to student success. Its student body is increasingly diverse, and its graduates continue to rise up and serve the region and the world by embracing some of our most complex challenges. This year, the campus community celebrates 50 years. It is a time to commemorate the institution, honor its past and build excitement for the future. The CSU Bakersfield community - its changemakers, trailblazers, and leaders - have made it clear in these past decades that "Runners are on the rise!" Strategic Plan CSU Bakersfield places student success and academic excellence at the center of its mission and recently launched a five-year Strategic Plan (2019-2024) with the following key goals: •Strengthen and Inspire Student Success and Lifelong Learning. •Advance Faculty and Staff Success. •Develop and Sustain High-Quality and Innovative Academic Programs and SupportServices. •Recognize and Address Regional Needs in Collaboration with Our Community. •Diversify, Enhance, and Responsibly Steward Our Campus Resources. To learn more about CSU Bakersfield's core values and the Strategic Plan, please visit: https://www.csub.edu/strategicplan//StrategicPlanOverviews/FullStrategicPlan.pdf. For more information about CSU Bakersfield, please visit https://csub.edu. The School The School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering (NSME) is composed of seven departments: Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, and Physics and Engineering. There are approximately 130 full-time faculty and 40 staff across these departments. Students work closely with faculty members on relevant research that helps empower the economy of the region. NSME is committed to serve the state and community in matters relating to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and nursing. NSME is active in seeking external funding from both the public and private sectors to support research, academic activities, and outreach programs. Current active grants for NSME faculty and staff total nearly $22 million. Over the years NSME has been recognized by Excelencia in Education for improving Latino STEM enrollment, growing the program from 670 students in 2006 to over 2900 students in 2020, of which 57% are Latino. The School's efforts have led to a significant increase in overall enrollment. Much of this increase is due to transfer and articulation success with Bakersfield College. NSME is meeting the challenge of improving higher educational achievement for Latino students. NSME students, both graduate and undergraduate, have the opportunity to participate in research projects and work with faculty in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities with cutting-edge equipment. There is exciting research going on in every department, from microplastics in biology to cancer research in chemistry and biochemistry and to earthquakes in geology. Some of facilities that the School provides include the Scanning Electron Microscopy Laboratory, the Sediment Analysis Laboratory, the Computer Mapping/Simulation Laboratory, the Plant Physiology Laboratory Mineral/Elemental Composition Laboratory, the Materials Testing Laboratory, and the California Well Sample Repository. In addition to being accessible to its students, NSME offers opportunities for community members of all ages to get involved. The Fab Lab, located in the Engineering Complex, is one of more than 1,600 around the world, all making up a network of makers from different backgrounds. The Fab Lab started in 2014 thanks to funding from Chevron and is the first brick-and-mortar Fab Lab in the CSU and UC school systems. Year 2020 Since the pandemic emerged, CSU Bakersfield, like other institutions of higher education, had to move most of its teaching to an online platform. As professors in the School of NSME navigate remote classes and think of creative ways to provide students the same material they would learn from in-person classes, they are also adjusting their own research to accommodate new restrictions. Research laboratories, once bustling with several students, can now have only one graduate student inside at a time. Lab teams that previously juggled a handful of projects at a time have had to choose what to focus on and stagger experiments. While dealing with restrictions, limited funding, and safety regulations, professors and students continue their research projects. In September 2020, NSME was awarded a $3 million, five-year Title V grant from the Department of Education that will launch students on paths toward a variety of health careers and develop a new major in Public Health, which is so needed in the local community. With a global pandemic shining a spotlight on the field, the importance of health professionals has never been more evident. The grant will have a great impact not only for students, but for the entire community. Kern County has consistently ranked low among California counties when it comes to overall health. Kern County also has among the lowest ratio of health professionals per 100,000 in population. The new public health degree is currently under review by the Academic Senate. The need for this degree program predates the current crisis; the grant addresses the need for qualified professionals in diverse healthcare occupations. Many students interested in a healthcare career are focused mainly on becoming doctors or nurses. The grant will support new programming and opportunities for students to explore the wider variety of roles in healthcare professions. In addition, plans are under way for the construction of a new Energy and Engineering Innovation Building. When completed, the Energy and Engineering Innovation Building will be a tri-level space of about 60,000 square feet. It will include CSUB's California Energy Research Center and the Angelo and Mary Mazzei Auditorium, a courtyard and atrium to be named after the Batey family for their generous support. The Position The next Dean of NSME will play a leadership role in the future growth of the School as well as ensure the School's success in education and community impact. The Dean will promote a collaborative environment to promote and advance innovative initiatives and programs that build upon school strengths and incorporate new ideas in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary education. The next Dean will be a strong advocate for the needs of students, support faculty development, creativity, and scholarship, and raise the visibility of the School. To do this, the next Dean will work closely with faculty, staff, alumni, and university leadership to advance the School of NSME. The successful candidate will possess academic credentials from an accredited institution sufficient to engender respect from the academy and the community at large. Ideally, the Dean will have demonstrated success as an administrator, excellence as a scholar, and impactful senior leadership experience in higher education. The next Dean will be instrumental in leading the School transition back to on-campus instruction from its current virtual modality. The process will involve new regulations and safety measures to ensure the wellbeing of students, staff, and faculty. Direct reports to the Dean include: • Associate Dean • Department Chairs • Director of NSME Grants and Outreach • California Energy Research Center (CERC) Director • Advising Coordinator • Communication Specialist • Administrative Support Staff • Instructional Support Staff Opportunities and Challenges The next Dean must be an experienced and collaborative leader with a proven track record of pursuing academic excellence and interdisciplinary collaborations while promoting a collegial team environment to develop and implement school-wide student success initiatives and high-impact practices. The successful candidate will be expected to address the following equally-important opportunities and challenges: Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion The Dean will foster an open and welcoming environment for its diverse student body. The Dean will work closely with the campus administration to ensure that NSME supports not only the recruitment of accomplished and diverse faculty and staff but also provides an environment that supports professional growth conducive to faculty and staff retention. The Dean is also responsible for developing and implementing strategies that enhance the learning environment and address the needs of first-generation students. Advancing Research and Scholarship The Dean will take advantage of existing facilities, equipment, grants, and projects to expand and strengthen the research profile of NSME. The Dean will work closely with department chairs and faculty to secure external funding that supports scholarly activities and provides undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to participate in faculty research projects. Strengthening Collaboration & Communication The Dean must foster and environment that values inclusion and collaboration. The Dean is expected to develop and implement effective strategies for enhancing communication within NSME departments and with the community. The next Dean will have the opportunity to promote a transparent and inclusive environment for NSME faculty, staff, students and members of the community. Improving Graduation & Retention Rates The Dean will continue NSME's collaborative efforts to ensure graduation and retention rate initiatives are on target, particularly Graduation 2025. The Dean will play a key role in ensuring that the School's academic programs are aligned to serve the workforce needs of the community in Bakersfield and Kern County. Fostering Community Engagement The new Dean will have an opportunity to enhance and strengthen community ties. Whether it is through the Kern Education Pledge (a transformation of the educational system from cradle to career in Kern County) or partnerships with non-profit, public, and private business leaders, the Dean will be a catalyst in strengthening bonds that will result in applied learning opportunities for students, as well as in opening new doors for internships and pathways to employment. Optimizing Resources The Dean will be a strong steward of fiscal resources and work on the equitable allocation of existing funds while also identifying opportunities for developing new revenue streams. As the number of faculty and students grow, the Dean will be proactive in assessing and maximizing the utilization of teaching rooms as well as faculty office and lab space. Optimizing Space The Dean will play a crucial role in guiding the construction of the new Energy and Engineering Innovation Building. The project is in the planning stage and temporarily on hold during the pandemic. While the new building will provide much-needed additional space, the School's rapid enrollment growth will require the efficient use of limited classroom and lab space. The Dean will have an opportunity to advocate for and generate additional sources of revenue to support the renovation of existing classrooms and laboratories as well as equipment upgrades.

Description: California State University, Bakersfield Dean, School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering Position Profile California State University, Bakersfield (CSU Bakersfield) invites inquiries, nominations, and applications from visionary and inspiring leaders interested in serving as the University's next Dean of the School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering (Dean NSME). The University Founded in 1965, California State University, Bakersfield is a regional, comprehensive university serving the San Joaquin Valley of California. The University's service area covers nearly 25,000 square miles and is home to a socially, economically, and ethnically diverse population. CSU Bakersfield is the only four-year granting degree institution within a 100-mile radius and, as a result, plays a vital role in the educational obtainment, economic development, and quality of life of its community. CSU Bakersfield is proud to be a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI); 61% of the University's students are Latino, 18% are Caucasian or White, 7% are Asian, 5% are African-American, and 2% are multiracial. The University serves more than 11,000 students on its main campus in Bakersfield and on its Antelope Valley campus and counts over 50,000 alumni from its four schools: Arts and Humanities; Business and Public Administration; Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering; and Social Sciences and Education. The University offers undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate and credential programs, and a doctoral program in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.). In Fall 2020, CSU Bakersfield serves a total of 11,397 full- and part-time students; 86% of students are undergraduate, 7% credential, and 7% are graduate/post-baccalaureate students. The University has received a number of accolades in recent years, including: The Equality of Opportunity Project for the upward mobility of its students; Campaign for College Opportunity - Champion for Higher Education for excelling at enrolling and graduating Associate Degree for Transfer earners; The Wall Street Journal "A Top University for Student Inclusion;" American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), The Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Teacher Education; California State University System in STEM grant funding; and Carnegie Foundation's Community Engagement Classification. The impact of CSU Bakersfield's students, faculty, staff, research centers, institutions, and community activities resonate throughout the region. The University continues to shape the future of Kern County, and each year CSU Bakersfield contributes thousands of new alumni to the community's educated and skilled workforce. With over 70 percent of its alumni remaining and working within the Central Valley, the University is a significant contributor to the area's ongoing social, cultural, and economic development. Runner on the Rise In October 1970, students attended their first day of classes at California State University, Bakersfield. It was then when students voted for Rowdy the Roadrunner as the college mascot. These first Roadrunners are now part of an esteemed group of over 56,000 alumni who have transformed their lives at CSU Bakersfield. Since then, the University has risen in national rankings for its economic value and commitment to student success. Its student body is increasingly diverse, and its graduates continue to rise up and serve the region and the world by embracing some of our most complex challenges. This year, the campus community celebrates 50 years. It is a time to commemorate the institution, honor its past and build excitement for the future. The CSU Bakersfield community - its changemakers, trailblazers, and leaders - have made it clear in these past decades that "Runners are on the rise!" Strategic Plan CSU Bakersfield places student success and academic excellence at the center of its mission and recently launched a five-year Strategic Plan (2019-2024) with the following key goals: •Strengthen and Inspire Student Success and Lifelong Learning. •Advance Faculty and Staff Success. •Develop and Sustain High-Quality and Innovative Academic Programs and SupportServices. •Recognize and Address Regional Needs in Collaboration with Our Community. •Diversify, Enhance, and Responsibly Steward Our Campus Resources. To learn more about CSU Bakersfield's core values and the Strategic Plan, please visit: https://www.csub.edu/strategicplan//StrategicPlanOverviews/FullStrategicPlan.pdf. For more information about CSU Bakersfield, please visit https://csub.edu. The School The School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering (NSME) is composed of seven departments: Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, and Physics and Engineering. There are approximately 130 full-time faculty and 40 staff across these departments. Students work closely with faculty members on relevant research that helps empower the economy of the region. NSME is committed to serve the state and community in matters relating to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and nursing. NSME is active in seeking external funding from both the public and private sectors to support research, academic activities, and outreach programs. Current active grants for NSME faculty and staff total nearly $22 million. Over the years NSME has been recognized by Excelencia in Education for improving Latino STEM enrollment, growing the program from 670 students in 2006 to over 2900 students in 2020, of which 57% are Latino. The School's efforts have led to a significant increase in overall enrollment. Much of this increase is due to transfer and articulation success with Bakersfield College. NSME is meeting the challenge of improving higher educational achievement for Latino students. NSME students, both graduate and undergraduate, have the opportunity to participate in research projects and work with faculty in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities with cutting-edge equipment. There is exciting research going on in every department, from microplastics in biology to cancer research in chemistry and biochemistry and to earthquakes in geology. Some of facilities that the School provides include the Scanning Electron Microscopy Laboratory, the Sediment Analysis Laboratory, the Computer Mapping/Simulation Laboratory, the Plant Physiology Laboratory Mineral/Elemental Composition Laboratory, the Materials Testing Laboratory, and the California Well Sample Repository. In addition to being accessible to its students, NSME offers opportunities for community members of all ages to get involved. The Fab Lab, located in the Engineering Complex, is one of more than 1,600 around the world, all making up a network of makers from different backgrounds. The Fab Lab started in 2014 thanks to funding from Chevron and is the first brick-and-mortar Fab Lab in the CSU and UC school systems. Year 2020 Since the pandemic emerged, CSU Bakersfield, like other institutions of higher education, had to move most of its teaching to an online platform. As professors in the School of NSME navigate remote classes and think of creative ways to provide students the same material they would learn from in-person classes, they are also adjusting their own research to accommodate new restrictions. Research laboratories, once bustling with several students, can now have only one graduate student inside at a time. Lab teams that previously juggled a handful of projects at a time have had to choose what to focus on and stagger experiments. While dealing with restrictions, limited funding, and safety regulations, professors and students continue their research projects. In September 2020, NSME was awarded a $3 million, five-year Title V grant from the Department of Education that will launch students on paths toward a variety of health careers and develop a new major in Public Health, which is so needed in the local community. With a global pandemic shining a spotlight on the field, the importance of health professionals has never been more evident. The grant will have a great impact not only for students, but for the entire community. Kern County has consistently ranked low among California counties when it comes to overall health. Kern County also has among the lowest ratio of health professionals per 100,000 in population. The new public health degree is currently under review by the Academic Senate. The need for this degree program predates the current crisis; the grant addresses the need for qualified professionals in diverse healthcare occupations. Many students interested in a healthcare career are focused mainly on becoming doctors or nurses. The grant will support new programming and opportunities for students to explore the wider variety of roles in healthcare professions. In addition, plans are under way for the construction of a new Energy and Engineering Innovation Building. When completed, the Energy and Engineering Innovation Building will be a tri-level space of about 60,000 square feet. It will include CSUB's California Energy Research Center and the Angelo and Mary Mazzei Auditorium, a courtyard and atrium to be named after the Batey family for their generous support. The Position The next Dean of NSME will play a leadership role in the future growth of the School as well as ensure the School's success in education and community impact. The Dean will promote a collaborative environment to promote and advance innovative initiatives and programs that build upon school strengths and incorporate new ideas in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary education. The next Dean will be a strong advocate for the needs of students, support faculty development, creativity, and scholarship, and raise the visibility of the School. To do this, the next Dean will work closely with faculty, staff, alumni, and university leadership to advance the School of NSME. The successful candidate will possess academic credentials from an accredited institution sufficient to engender respect from the academy and the community at large. Ideally, the Dean will have demonstrated success as an administrator, excellence as a scholar, and impactful senior leadership experience in higher education. The next Dean will be instrumental in leading the School transition back to on-campus instruction from its current virtual modality. The process will involve new regulations and safety measures to ensure the wellbeing of students, staff, and faculty. Direct reports to the Dean include: • Associate Dean • Department Chairs • Director of NSME Grants and Outreach • California Energy Research Center (CERC) Director • Advising Coordinator • Communication Specialist • Administrative Support Staff • Instructional Support Staff Opportunities and Challenges The next Dean must be an experienced and collaborative leader with a proven track record of pursuing academic excellence and interdisciplinary collaborations while promoting a collegial team environment to develop and implement school-wide student success initiatives and high-impact practices. The successful candidate will be expected to address the following equally-important opportunities and challenges: Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion The Dean will foster an open and welcoming environment for its diverse student body. The Dean will work closely with the campus administration to ensure that NSME supports not only the recruitment of accomplished and diverse faculty and staff but also provides an environment that supports professional growth conducive to faculty and staff retention. The Dean is also responsible for developing and implementing strategies that enhance the learning environment and address the needs of first-generation students. Advancing Research and Scholarship The Dean will take advantage of existing facilities, equipment, grants, and projects to expand and strengthen the research profile of NSME. The Dean will work closely with department chairs and faculty to secure external funding that supports scholarly activities and provides undergraduate and graduate students with the opportunity to participate in faculty research projects. Strengthening Collaboration & Communication The Dean must foster and environment that values inclusion and collaboration. The Dean is expected to develop and implement effective strategies for enhancing communication within NSME departments and with the community. The next Dean will have the opportunity to promote a transparent and inclusive environment for NSME faculty, staff, students and members of the community. Improving Graduation & Retention Rates The Dean will continue NSME's collaborative efforts to ensure graduation and retention rate initiatives are on target, particularly Graduation 2025. The Dean will play a key role in ensuring that the School's academic programs are aligned to serve the workforce needs of the community in Bakersfield and Kern County. Fostering Community Engagement The new Dean will have an opportunity to enhance and strengthen community ties. Whether it is through the Kern Education Pledge (a transformation of the educational system from cradle to career in Kern County) or partnerships with non-profit, public, and private business leaders, the Dean will be a catalyst in strengthening bonds that will result in applied learning opportunities for students, as well as in opening new doors for internships and pathways to employment. Optimizing Resources The Dean will be a strong steward of fiscal resources and work on the equitable allocation of existing funds while also identifying opportunities for developing new revenue streams. As the number of faculty and students grow, the Dean will be proactive in assessing and maximizing the utilization of teaching rooms as well as faculty office and lab space. Optimizing Space The Dean will play a crucial role in guiding the construction of the new Energy and Engineering Innovation Building. The project is in the planning stage and temporarily on hold during the pandemic. While the new building will provide much-needed additional space, the School's rapid enrollment growth will require the efficient use of limited classroom and lab space. The Dean will have an opportunity to advocate for and generate additional sources of revenue to support the renovation of existing classrooms and laboratories as well as equipment upgrades. Strategic Planning In support of CSU Bakersfield's Strategic Plan 2019-2024, the Dean will develop and implement a cohesive vision for the School of NSME that will support the University's commitment to academic excellence and student success.

Key Opportunities and Challenges for the Dean The next Dean will build upon the College's many strengths and further advance its mission to provide a high-quality, relevant, compelling business education to students from across Southern California and beyond. Serving as a collaborative, supportive, and approachable leader who models accountability and respect, the Dean will be a tireless advocate at all levels for support for the College's success. In doing so, the Dean will address the following opportunities and challenges: Craft and execute a comprehensive, forward-looking vision for the College The Dean will be charged with preserving the College's distinctive qualities while simultaneously moving the College forward, advancing its standing both regionally and nationally, and envisioning a bright future for CBE that continues to build toward the highest possible levels of excellence. 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. Strengthen and grow external relationships The next Dean will be the ultimate ambassador for the College of Business and Economics and will advocate boldly for resources. The Dean will deepen significant external relationships across the region, the CSU system, and the state. Orange County is a politically and demographically diverse region with a robust and engaged business community, many of whom have ties to CSUF. By establishing and cementing long-term, synergistic relationships with foundations, corporate donors, and key individuals, as well as looking for opportunities for academic collaborations and job placements, the Dean will strengthen fundraising and alumni engagement. In addition to regular sustained advancement efforts for the College, the Dean will play a role in ongoing fundraising efforts for the first University comprehensive campaign in 60 years, alongside decanal and university colleagues. Finally, the Dean will be a partner within the CSU system, building networks that make the most of California's position as the fifth-largest economy in the world and the CSU as a driver of that economy through education of the workforce of the present and the future. Demonstrate thoughtful and strong internal management skills to bolster the College The Dean will bring strong interpersonal skills, as well as a sense of fairness, respect, and trust to the innerworkings of the College. 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. Recognizing the innovative hallmarks of the business world, the College can lead in the adoption and implementation of technology to bridge the remote environment caused by the pandemic, establishing and embracing new modes for education and connection among students to replace, temporarily, the community environment created by classroom teaching and personal interactions in the beautiful physical space of the College. 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.

Job Summary California State University, Fullerton (Cal State Fullerton or CSUF) seeks a visionary, collaborative leader to serve as Dean of the College of Business and Economics. The Dean will have the opportunity to shape and guide the College through a pivotal time in the history of higher education, with the chance to impact the direction and success of the College for years to come. The College of Business and Economics (CBE), the largest AACSB-accredited business school on the West Coast, with over 23,000 students earning bachelor's and master's degrees during the past decade to prepare them for success in the workplace. Working across six academic departments and over a dozen Centers of Excellence, the College's faculty not only teach and mentor students but also conduct groundbreaking world-class research within their respective disciplines. The College also benefits from its dynamic location in California, the fifth largest economy in the world, and in Orange County, one of the largest, most diverse economies in the country. The immense presence of CBE in the region has strong links to the economic progress of the area. The next Dean will bring to Cal State Fullerton a passion for supporting student learning, world-class faculty, and a dedicated staff. The College sits well-poised to engage even more fully with the surrounding business and alumni community, to build bridges across the university, and to manage the College to its fullest potential of education and research. The College enjoys an unusually dynamic environment, serving a wide swath of students, including a majority of first generation and underrepresented students. CBE Faculty merge theory with practice to help guide graduates into not just jobs, but careers. By virtue of its scale and position - the largest business college of the largest university of the largest university system of the largest economy in the country - the leadership work of the new Dean will have an impact far beyond the walls of the College of Business and Economics. About the College of Business and Economics Located in one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial business communities in the United States, the College of Business and Economics is the third-largest accredited business school in the nation and the largest on the West Coast. Home to more than 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the College enrolls nearly a quarter of the students at Cal State Fullerton and is the largest of the university's eight colleges. Since its founding in 1959, the College has remaining committed to providing a high-quality education that balances theory and practice. Today, CBE is home to 114 tenure/tenure-track faculty and 182 lecturers. The College offers bachelor's degrees in business administration (with 17 concentrations) and in international business; two MBA programs; five additional master's degrees supported by six academic departments (accounting, economics, finance, information systems and decision sciences, management, and marketing); a graduate certificate program in human resources management; and a non-degree program in business communication. According to a 2017 study in the Journal of Education for Business, the College was ranked 20th in the U.S. in research productivity in business and management education. Faculty in each of the College's six departments are leaders in research, contributing to the body of knowledge in their respective disciplines while also having cross-disciplinary implications for application and impact. In recent years, CBE faculty have published nearly 500 ranked journal articles, on topics as diverse as the impact of social media on workplaces to the volatility of the stock market. The College's commitment to research excellence ensures that students are educated by leading innovators and voices in the field. CBE is also home to a number of Centers of Excellence, which serve as a bridge between the College and related industries. These faculty-led think tanks address key community-based issues, tackle global challenges, provide invaluable services to the local business and government sectors, and link students and alumni to real-world learning and networking experiences. The student body of the College is the largest and one of the most diverse on the West Coast. The College is comprised of 33% Latinx students and 28% Asian-American/Pacific Islander students. Diverse Issues in Higher Education ranked CSUF number one in the nation for degrees in business awarded to Latinx/Hispanic students and number two in the nation for the number of undergraduate business degrees awarded to Asian-American students. The College offers academic advising, career advising, and tutoring services to all CBE students, in addition to the services provided by Cal State Fullerton. CBE is accredited by the AACSB, and the Accounting program holds its own separate AACSB accreditation, making CBE one of only two universities in California with both types of AACSB accreditation. Re-accreditation will take place in 2023-2024. Role of the Dean Under the direction of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of the College of Business and Economics serves as the chief academic and administrative officer for the College. In addition to providing leadership for the College, the Dean works closely with the President's Advisory Board, the Dean's Advisory Board, and the Council of Deans. The Dean will provide vision and leadership for the College and will be responsible for advocating for diversity among faculty, staff, and students, equity in individual experience and outcomes, and inclusivity in the culture and curriculum of the College. Working in a fully collegial environment with faculty, the Dean provides management and oversight for all aspects of the College and furthers the mission and goals of the College and of Cal State Fullerton by enabling faculty excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. The Dean's primary responsibilities will include the following: Providing strong, consistent, transparent, and fair leadership. Ensuring collaborative and collegial decision-making within the College and with stakeholders throughout the university and local community. Shaping a vision for the College that is consistent with the university's strategic plan and ongoing strategic planning within the College. Leading the College's fundraising and grant-seeking efforts, as well as building relationships with stakeholders. Enhancing the College's ability to enable ethnically and culturally diverse students, faculty, and staff to thrive. Increasing the College's visibility in academic and professional communities nationally and internationally. Leading the College's educational efforts by building and strengthening pipelines for students from all backgrounds to become successful, engaged CBE graduates and alumni. Creating and sustaining an environment supportive of research, scholarship, and creative activity for all faculty within all departments and programs, including leveraging the centers of excellence in the College. Providing oversight of the College's instructional programs including leadership in curriculum improvement, innovation, and assessment of student learning. Planning and administering the annual budgeting process and the budget for the College. Maintaining and overseeing AACSB accreditation. Serving as chief mentor and manager for the College's staff and personnel. Other duties as assigned. Key Opportunities and Challenges for the Dean The next Dean will build upon the College's many strengths and further advance its mission to provide a high-quality, relevant, compelling business education to students from across Southern California and beyond. Serving as a collaborative, supportive, and approachable leader who models accountability and respect, the Dean will be a tireless advocate at all levels for support for the College's success. In doing so, the Dean will address the following opportunities and challenges: Craft and execute a comprehensive, forward-looking vision for the College The Dean will be charged with preserving the College's distinctive qualities while simultaneously moving the College forward, advancing its standing both regionally and nationally, and envisioning a bright future for CBE that continues to build toward the highest possible levels of excellence. 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. Strengthen and grow external relationships The next Dean will be the ultimate ambassador for the College of Business and Economics and will advocate boldly for resources. The Dean will deepen significant external relationships across the region, the CSU system, and the state. Orange County is a politically and demographically diverse region with a robust and engaged business community, many of whom have ties to CSUF. By establishing and cementing long-term, synergistic relationships with foundations, corporate donors, and key individuals, as well as looking for opportunities for academic collaborations and job placements, the Dean will strengthen fundraising and alumni engagement. In addition to regular sustained advancement efforts for the College, the Dean will play a role in ongoing fundraising efforts for the first University comprehensive campaign in 60 years, alongside decanal and university colleagues. Finally, the Dean will be a partner within the CSU system, building networks that make the most of California's position as the fifth-largest economy in the world and the CSU as a driver of that economy through education of the workforce of the present and the future. Demonstrate thoughtful and strong internal management skills to bolster the College The Dean will bring strong interpersonal skills, as well as a sense of fairness, respect, and trust to the innerworkings of the College. 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. Recognizing the innovative hallmarks of the business world, the College can lead in the adoption and implementation of technology to bridge the remote environment caused by the pandemic, establishing and embracing new modes for education and connection among students to replace, temporarily, the community environment created by classroom teaching and personal interactions in the beautiful physical space of the College. 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.
