Luther College invites applications, expressions of interest, and nominations of candidates in its search for the next Vice President for Enrollment Management. Luther seeks a genuine, energetic, experienced, and innovative leader with proven success in enrollment management and a deep and abiding commitment to the college’s mission and values.

Ranked among the nation’s top 100 liberal arts colleges, Luther is a Phi Beta Kappa campus nationally recognized for its distinctive, engaging Paideia program, the number of students awarded prestigious Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships, and the percentage of students who study abroad. Luther’s identity as a college in the Lutheran tradition (ELCA) and membership in the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities (NECU) marks it as a community that is both rooted and open. Neither sectarian nor secular, Luther College shapes lives of meaning and purpose in service to the neighbor.

Luther College’s central campus is situated on nearly 200 acres of limestone bluff country, and in the heart of Decorah, a warm and vibrant town. With a population of 8,000, Decorah offers plentiful recreation, a charming downtown with numerous restaurants, coffeehouses, an independent bookstore, and a nationally recognized museum of Norwegian-American culture, natural beauty, and a close-knit community—all while providing the conveniences of a city many times its size. Recently, U.S. News & World Report named Decorah High School a top high school in Iowa. Decorah was also featured in Smithsonian Magazine’s annual list of the 20 best small towns to visit in America, as well as being named on Forbes’ “America’s Prettiest Towns” list. Traveliowa.com has Decorah appearing on 10 different “top location” lists.
