The President is the senior executive of铿乧er of United College and is responsible to its governing body, the Board of Governors, for its academic and administrative operation. The President provides inspirational, strategic, academic and 铿乶ancial leadership, and works co-operatively within United College and with the University of 蓝莓视频 to strengthen and expand its programs and activities in ways that exemplify its vision, mission and values. The President will effectively represent United College with the external community, increase its resources and advance its mission, develop new programs and raise its pro铿乴e locally, provincially, nationally and internationally.
The President will be a visionary and strategic leader with a record of scholarship, a demonstrated commitment to students, outstanding interpersonal skills, and the leadership ability to guide the affairs of听the overall institution. Candidates will have a collegial working style, experience or interest in advancement and the ability to further the interests of United College with both internal and external constituencies.听
The consultants will begin review of candidates immediately, with committee consultation beginning in the fall. The search will continue until the position is successfully 铿乴led, ideally by July 1, 2026. Applications should include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names (not letters) of three references (who will not be contacted without the consent of the candidate), and should be submitted in con铿乨ence to the executive search consultants:
