The University of Tampa (UTampa) seeks an experienced, collaborative, forward-thinking and student-centered academic leader to serve as its next provost and vice president for academic affairs.
For 93 years, the University of Tampa has been committed to providing exceptional learning experiences in a global context. The University is ideally situated on a beautiful 110-acre, residential campus alongside the Hillsborough River, adjacent to Tampa's dynamic downtown business and medical districts, which comprise a growing, vibrant, diverse metropolitan area. UTampa reflects this vibrancy with a distinguished faculty of approximately 900; a talented student body of 11,450 undergraduate, graduate and professional students drawn from all 50 states and most of the world's countries; a committed full- and part-time staff of 540; and top tier rankings in U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, and The Princeton Review.
The University is a highly attractive destination for students seeking a distinctive, top-quality education with a strong liberal arts foundation that includes easy access to internships, community service and outstanding recreational opportunities. UTampa's four-college model - the College of Arts and Letters; Sykes College of Business; College of Natural and Health Sciences; and College of Social Sciences, Mathematics and Education - has helped the University retain its small-school ambience and scholarly connections through a high growth, rapidly evolving and ever stronger institutional trajectory.
The provost will join the University at a time of great excitement, momentum and change, providing outstanding leadership and advancing the academic enterprise. Reporting to new President Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg, the provost serves as the University's chief academic officer and a strategic leader on all aspects of University governance and the academic enterprise. As a unifying and institution-wide leader, the provost will partner with the president and others to elevate the academic standing of the University; support the professional growth and success of both faculty and staff; advance UTampa as an inclusive learning community; and cultivate a culture of optimism, inclusivity and collaboration.
The next provost will be expected to support the recruitment, retention and development of top faculty and college administrators; build out the academic affairs unit's capabilities and impact; develop new and support existing programs; and build organizational capacity. Candidates should have a demonstrated record of effectively utilizing existing resources and generating new resources to achieve institutional priorities; embracing technology and innovations in higher education; and building strong teams, empowering them to lead initiatives and activities that advance the strategic goals of an institution. Candidates must have a distinguished record of academic leadership and accomplishment commensurate with appointment at the rank of full professor in one of the University's colleges, an understanding and appreciation of the mission of UTampa and the ability to effectively communicate with a variety of constituents.
All applications, nominations and inquiries are invited. Applications should include, as separate documents, a CV or resume and a letter of interest addressing the themes in the profile available at WittKieffer.com .
WittKieffer is assisting the University of Tampa with this search. For fullest consideration, candidate materials should be received by December 2, 2024.
Applications, nominations and inquiries can be directed to:
