President

Your dream job lives here.

We are Champlain College—an innovative institution in Burlington, Vermont that is rewriting the rules of higher education for students of all ages. We fuel our students’ passion: finding it, focusing it, and nurturing it through academic, professional, and personal opportunities for growth. We are a close-knit community of educators and learners. We provide the ideal environment and experiences for students to cultivate big ideas, achieve career success, and fulfill their dreams. For the fifth year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has named us a “Most Innovative School” in the North.  

You are a spirited, action-oriented chief executive who will lead us forward around a shared vision. You are a fearless champion of the Champlain mission, an energetic fundraiser, and an enthusiastic ambassador on and off campus. You combine higher education foresight with business savvy and financial acumen. You empower, inspire, and make our wonderful community even stronger through diversity and inclusion. 

Champlain College has retained Koya Leadership Partners and Diversified Search to assist in our search for the President of the college. We encourage inquiries, nominations, and application materials—including a CV and cover letter—to be submitted by November 15 to receive optimal consideration. Confidential inquiries can be directed to Michelle Bonoan and Andrew Wheeler at champlainpresident@divsearch.com.
