Drexel University
Dean, College of Nursing and Health Professions
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Drexel University, a private, comprehensive, and global R1-level research university, seeks a dean of the College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP).
It is an exciting time to join Drexel and the CNHP community. Under President John Fry's transformational leadership, Drexel strives to make West Philadelphia a global health sciences hub. The university has defined and is energetically pursuing Areas of Opportunity and Excellence (AOEs), which include many places where CNHP can have a significant impact, such as health innovation, health equity and wellness, urban futures, and sustainability and climate resilience. Last year, the college moved to a new, state-of-the-art Health Sciences Building, which brings together CNHP, the College of Medicine, and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Professional Studies. In May 2023, Drexel announced an agreement to merge with Salus University, a health science-focused university in the Philadelphia region; this merger will add a number of graduate degree programs to CNHP.
The next dean will be an inspirational, transparent, and health equity-driven leader who will shape CNHP’s future as a strongly unified college with ambitious goals to make a meaningful difference in society. This dean will lead through a social justice lens, focusing on civic engagement and diversification of the healthcare workforce to address social and structural determinants of health. The dean will create a distinctive higher education experience punctuated by exceptional academic programs, interprofessional opportunities, experiential learning, ground-breaking scholarship, and cutting-edge research activity.
The successful candidate for dean will be an experienced academic leader who is collaborative, savvy, and decisive. They will be an excellent relationship builder and clear communicator with a deep commitment to diversity, inclusion, and fostering apositive internal culture. They will serve as a strong advocate for the college and attract resources to further its mission. They will deeply understand the dynamic healthcare environment and public health concerns, using this knowledge to well prepare the next generation of nurses and health professionals.
