Dean, School of Education
Loyola Marymount University (LMU) seeks a remarkable Dean to serve the School of Education (SOE) and the broader LMU community. The new Dean will enhance the excellence of the School in a manner consistent with LMU's distinctive Jesuit and Marymount Catholic mission of academic excellence in a diverse and inclusive setting. The next Dean will develop a focused, unified, and mission-driven vision for the SOE, creatively grow financial resources and earned revenue, foster ongoing partnerships and collaborations within the university and externally, demonstrate a commitment to shared governance, and champion social justice, diversity, inclusion, and student success.
Founded in 1911, LMU is embedded in the intellectual and cultural fabric of Los Angeles, the world's creative capital, where the arts, entertainment, technology, business, and entrepreneurship flourish, and where diverse religions, races, and languages interconnect. LMU, an R2 institution in the Carnegie classifications, has a highly esteemed faculty who are globally recognized scholars, including Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, Fulbright scholars, and many other accomplished academic leaders. LMU has been recognized internationally as among the nation's best for its programs, curricula, and student life. LMU ranks No. 93 among national universities on US News & World Report's annual list, and the Wall Street Journal ranked LMU among the top 15 percent of all U.S. colleges and universities in their World University Rankings in 2022. LMU delivers an exceptional learning experience to its roughly 10,000 students and enrolls an academically ambitious, multicultural, and socioeconomically diverse student body.
The SOE trains future teachers, administrators, counselors, school psychologists, and other professionals to deliver an excellent educational experience at any type of school. The SOE is the university's largest graduate college and offers fully accredited Master's, credential and certificate programs, a Doctorate in Educational Leadership for Social Justice, and a growing undergraduate major in Education and Learning Sciences. The School is currently #70 out of more than 1500 schools of education in the country, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, with a commitment to social justice and globalism.
As the chief academic and executive officer of the LMU SOE, the Dean is responsible for the vitality and administration of all programs and activities within the School. The Dean, as senior academic administrator, is a member of the Dean's Council and reports directly to the Executive Vice President and Provost. In close consultation and partnership with the faculty, the Dean ensures that college educational programs are exceptional in quality and designed to meet the needs of the University's diverse student population. The Dean also promotes high standards in teaching and scholarship. The Dean is responsible for donor development and fundraising for the School and represents the School to internal and external constituencies. The Dean also works with the School's Board of Visitors to support the connections between the School's programs, faculty scholarship, and external partners.
Reporting to the Dean are three Associate Deans and one Assistant Dean in addition to the academic department chairs. The Dean oversees an annual budget of $18.4M and reviews the budgets of the academic programs and other units in the SOE. The Dean works transparently and collaboratively with students, faculty, staff, fellow deans, administrators, alumni, donors, and community leaders.
