Vice President and Dean of Enrollment
Northwestern University invites inquiries, nominations, and applications for vice president and dean of enrollment.

Northwestern is a comprehensive, AAU, global research university with a distinguished and distinctive interdisciplinary tradition. Reporting to the provost and as a member of a deeply collaborative academic affairs leadership team, the vice president will work with University leaders and others to expand Northwestern's impact through leadership of all aspects of undergraduate recruitment and selection and ensuring admission and financial aid policies and processes reflect University priorities.

This is a critical leadership position that offers the opportunity to influence the continued enrollment trajectory of a world-class university and the students it serves and to build on strengths that have attracted increasingly diverse classes of exceptionally talented students. The new vice president will provide ambitious, strategic leadership to Northwestern's outstanding admission and financial aid teams, building on current strengths and amplifying Northwestern's reach and impact. The vice president will develop and enact enrollment plans and policies that are inventive, analytically rigorous, technically sophisticated, and continuously assessed and refined, often in collaboration with senior colleagues from units and divisions that are impacted by these decisions. The University will also rely on the vice president to help it navigate the new and emerging complexities that significantly impact student enrollment.

The ideal candidate will be a forward-thinking leader who cares deeply about students, demonstrates exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, and possesses an inclusive work style along with a generous outlook toward colleagues and peers. The new leader will bring a record of advancing diversity, access, and inclusion; the ability to manage a highly intricate set of annual enrollment goals; a desire to continuously improve upon every metric on the enrollment spectrum; and the intercultural fluency to engage diverse audiences from around the globe. Integrity, significant strategic and analytical capacity, and technological savvy are imperative. An advanced degree is strongly preferred.
