Cal Poly has consistently been named the best public masters-level university in the West by both U.S. News & World Report and Forbes Top Colleges , and Money magazine gave Cal Poly a 5-star ranking, an honor that places Cal Poly among the top 34 universities in the nation. The CAED has the unique distinction of housing eight degree programs in five departments contributing to the built environment: Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning. All CAED programs are highly ranked, and offer students the opportunity to undertake sophisticated projects, collaborate with industry partners, and work across disciplines. As a result of Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing philosophy, all CAED students gain impactful practical and scholarly experiences and are prepared to work globally within innovative teams creating sustainable, compelling surroundings within the built environment. The dean will be joining Cal Poly at an opportune time for impact as the CAED is ready to rally behind a cohesive and forward-thinking vision that bridges disciplines, unites the CAED community, promotes innovation and inclusive excellence, ensures they remain competitive in their fields and the national higher education landscape, and increases their national and international prominence. As the University pursues enrollment growth in the coming years, the dean will also play an important role in attracting and retaining diverse and talented students, faculty, and staff; securing the facilities, support structures, and other financial and operational resources necessary to support growth; and working with faculty to ensure academic programming is attractive to students and is responsive to industry needs.

The CAED is one of the largest colleges of its kind in the country, with 2,000 students enrolled in the programs mentioned in the introduction. The college also offers interdisciplinary programs including dual degree and minor programs in partnership with the College of Engineering and the Orfalea College of Business, allowing students to make connections beyond their degree of study. With a unique blend of professional majors not found in the same college anywhere else in the United States, the college encompasses all the professions that come together in designing and implementing the built environment. All CAED degree programs are highly ranked and built around educational experiences heavily focused on using rigorous, time-intensive design studios and project labs as a central arena for developing and integrating multiple skills. Each major emphasizes Cal Poly’s rich Learn By Doing tradition within a comprehensive university complex. As such, CAED students receive a contemporary polytechnic education that provides the creative, technical, and leadership abilities to plan, design, construct, and steward the built and natural environment. Student success is of paramount importance to the CAED. The college’s interdisciplinary focus and low student-to-professor ratio ensure that all students are prepared for professional practice and are able to develop impactful relationships within the community. CAED’s educational benefits include small class sizes, accreditation in each program of study, the opportunity to study abroad, and access to hands-on learning in studios, shops, laboratories, and support facilities. The college also offers students a broad range of extra-curricular activities that provide a social network between students, a career network with industry and alumni, and volunteer opportunities to become better acquainted with the greater community. CAED clubs and organizations range from college-wide to departmental and major-specific, allowing students to connect across the college as well as dive deeper into their program of study. To ensure that the curriculum and experience effectively prepare students for the work force, the college maintains close relationships with industry partners and maintains trust with major employers.

California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) seeks a highly collaborative and visionary leader with the ability to build connections across disciplines and with industry to serve as the next dean of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design ( CAED ). For over 75 years, the CAED has had an outstanding national reputation due to its distinguished community of faculty, staff, students, and alumni that have positively influenced the forces that shape the planning, design, and construction worlds. The dean will build on the successful reputation of Cal Poly and CAED to reach new levels of distinction and national prominence while promoting their renowned “Learn by Doing” philosophy . The dean will support Cal Poly’s clear vision of being the nation’s premier comprehensive polytechnic university that develops and inspires whole system thinkers to serve California and help solve global challenges. Founded in 1901 as one of 23 universities in the California State University (CSU) system, Cal Poly is located in San Luis Obispo, a coastal city halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco and 15 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Cal Poly has consistently been named the best public masters-level university in the West by both U.S. News & World Report and Forbes Top Colleges , and Money magazine gave Cal Poly a 5-star ranking, an honor that places Cal Poly among the top 34 universities in the nation. The CAED has the unique distinction of housing eight degree programs in five departments contributing to the built environment: Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, Landscape Architecture, and City and Regional Planning. All CAED programs are highly ranked, and offer students the opportunity to undertake sophisticated projects, collaborate with industry partners, and work across disciplines. As a result of Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing philosophy, all CAED students gain impactful practical and scholarly experiences and are prepared to work globally within innovative teams creating sustainable, compelling surroundings within the built environment. The dean will be joining Cal Poly at an opportune time for impact as the CAED is ready to rally behind a cohesive and forward-thinking vision that bridges disciplines, unites the CAED community, promotes innovation and inclusive excellence, ensures they remain competitive in their fields and the national higher education landscape, and increases their national and international prominence. As the University pursues enrollment growth in the coming years, the dean will also play an important role in attracting and retaining diverse and talented students, faculty, and staff; securing the facilities, support structures, and other financial and operational resources necessary to support growth; and working with faculty to ensure academic programming is attractive to students and is responsive to industry needs. To achieve these ambitions, the dean will address the following key opportunities and challenges, which are enumerated in detail later in this document: Inspire the CAED around a new, unified vision that builds on the college’s distinct identity, fosters interdisciplinary collaborations, and supports Cal Poly’s mission, values, and goals Thoughtfully steward and enhance the CAED’s revenue, resources, and infrastructure Lead a committed and talented faculty and staff ready to leverage their expertise in support of students and interdisciplinary goals and objectives Be a highly collaborative and strategic university partner at Cal Poly and in the CSU System Serve as a visible spokesperson locally, nationally and internationally A list of the desired qualifications and characteristics of the dean, prepared by CAED stakeholders with assistance of Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, can be found at the conclusion of this document.
