Coppin State University, a constituent institution of the University System of Maryland, located in Baltimore City, announces the national search for its eighth president. The University seeks an experienced strong, visible leader who will engage broadly and authentically with the diverse University community, internally and externally.

Coppin State University, a historically black institution in a dynamic urban setting, serves a multi-generational student population and provides educational opportunities while promoting lifelong learning.

Coppin State and the University System of Maryland seek an experienced individual to bring dynamic changes and stable leadership to the University at a critical time in its history. The next president should be a visible leader who can embrace and foster the rich heritage and identity of Coppin as a historically black university while also bringing constituents together to work collectively and collaboratively to lead actions to address the current challenges of the campus and to better serve the current population of students and their needs. The president should lead toward a shared vision and goals, and must be able to engage current faculty, staff, and students; work to increase the recruitment and retention rates of students; and build and strengthen relationships with the surrounding community and other external stakeholders within the state.
