About the Role
The Company is in search of its 11th President, a role that is both historic and transformative. The successful candidate will be tasked with leading the institution with a strategic vision that is deeply rooted in its mission of preparing students for Christian leadership, service, and advocacy. This includes a strong commitment to faith-based innovation, academic excellence, and financial sustainability. The President will be expected to engage in the prophetic legacy of the institution, which is known for its integration of liberal arts and theological education and its significant contributions to social justice and the Civil Rights Movement. The ideal President will be a dynamic, mission-driven leader who can foster growth through inclusive leadership, fundraising, enrollment strategies, and partnerships. As the College approaches its centennial, the role is pivotal in shaping the future of an institution whose impact is felt far beyond the classroom. The President will be responsible for guiding the College through this critical period, ensuring that it remains a beacon of hope and a leader in the preparation of students for a life of service and advocacy. A deep understanding of the institution's history and a commitment to its values are essential, as is the ability to lead with integrity, compassion, and a clear vision for the future.
