Saint Mary's College, a Catholic women's college of national standing in the liberal arts tradition, is seeking its next Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs. The Provost will lead the faculty as well as curricular and co-curricular support units in developing and implementing strategic initiatives involving undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs. The College seeks a visionary leader who promotes excellence, diversity and inclusion, pedagogical innovation, undergraduate research, internationalization, career and internship development, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The ideal candidate will seek opportunities to partner with other institutions and to explore and expand online and adult education. The new Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs is expected to take office no later than July 1, 2019.

Saint Mary's is a welcoming community of approximately 1,700 students, talented professors, and dedicated staff. Intimate classes averaging 18 students each encourage close, meaningful relationships among students as well as between students and faculty. In addition to offering strong undergraduate programs, in 2015 the College introduced graduate programs, enrolling both men and women in data science, speech language pathology, and nursing practice. A new Master of Autism Studies will begin in the summer of 2019.

Saint Mary's sits on a beautiful 140-acre campus, along the Saint Joseph River in Notre Dame, Indiana. Located just minutes from historic downtown South Bend, Saint Mary's is nestled within the South Bend-metropolitan area, a multicultural region of 500,000 that is the economic, cultural, and transportation hub of northern Indiana.

Reporting directly to President Janice Cervelli, the Provost serves on her Cabinet and as the chief executive officer and spokesperson in the President's absence. The Provost also serves on the College Budget Committee, as liaison to the Board of Trustees Academic Affairs Committee and as secretary of the Academic Affairs Council, which s/he chairs in the President's absence.
