Vice Chancellor for External Relations and Communications
The Office of the Chancellor of the California State University System (CSU), the largest, most diverse and most consequential university system in the United States, seeks a highly skilled and experienced leader to serve as Vice Chancellor for External Relations and Communications (VC-ERC). Reporting to the Chancellor, the successful candidate for this extraordinary opportunity will oversee a team of more than 58 employees, with five direct reports and a budget of approximately $11 million.
The California State University System
The CSU's 23 universities span California and collectively enroll some 460,000 students, making it the largest four-year comprehensive public higher education system in the world. The CSU employs approximately 56,000 faculty and staff, who work together to deliver more than 4,100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in more than 350 subject areas. The CSU confers approximately 130,000 degrees annually, and its global alumni base is more than four million strong. The CSU provides high-quality, affordable education to meet the ever-changing needs of the people of California. The CSU is a vital economic engine for the State of California; in fact, roughly one out of 10 employees in California attended a CSU institution.
The CSU stands at an exciting moment: Dr. Mildred García, most recently the president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and formerly president of CSU Dominguez Hills and CSU Fullerton, assumed the role of Chancellor in October 2023. She is the first Latina to be appointed to oversee the CSU system. To learn more, visit www.calstate.edu.
