Job Description
Senior Vice President for Student Services # 1037
UPDATED
Montgomery College, a two-year community college with three campuses located in suburban Washington, D.C., with a credit student enrollment of over 35,000 and over 25,000 continuing education enrollments, and 1,800 regular employees, is seeking a dynamic leader to serve in the significant role and position of Senior Vice President for Student Services, #1037. Position is located in Rockville, Maryland.
The President has articulated a vision that Montgomery College will be the most relevant community college in the country. We will meet the needs of our students and prove essential to the success of our community. Her vision coupled with her knowledge that the community college educational experience can change the trajectory of an individual, gives the successful candidate the opportunity to exercise creative leadership and innovative thinking in achieving this vision, particularly with regard to President Obama's Completion Agenda and the Voluntary Framework of Accountability system. The Voluntary Framework of Accountability will provide opportunities for colleges to benchmark their student progress and completion data against peers and to provide stakeholders with critical information on the colleges. Montgomery College has been chosen as one of the colleges to pilot this program.
The Senior Vice President for Student Services at Montgomery College reports to the President and serves as the chief student affairs/student engagement officer and advocate. In conjunction with the Campus Vice Presidents/Provosts and other key administrators, the Senior Vice President for Student Services provides vision and direction for the College's student support services functions including the aforementioned offices, plus the campus-based academic support centers that underpin the academic programs and the student development/student life programs.
The Senior Vice President for Student Services serves on the President's Executive Council and Cabinet, and, consequently, is the chief presidential adviser on student services issues. This position is also responsible for the development, revision, and accurate implementation of all student-related policies and procedures of the College.
The Senior Vice President for Student Services should be knowledgeable of national best practices related to student support toward goal/degree completion, whether that is for a terminal degree or for a degree leading to transfer to a four-year college or university. The Senior Vice President for Student Services fosters student access and retention by providing collegewide leadership, direction, and coordination in assuring consistency and quality in the delivery of all services and provision of activities, and that student support systems are also properly and effectively aligned with the instructional program.
The Senior Vice President for Student Services brings leadership to the College's student services in efforts that involve the Montgomery County Public Schools, the Universities at Shady Grove, and other colleges and universities. These efforts include student assessment, advising, counseling, orientation, summer bridge, and first-year experience programs that aid students in making transitions from high school to college and onto four-year institutions.
The Senior Vice President for Student Services leads institutional efforts in grant seeking related to improving student service delivery across the institution.
During the first year in this position, the incumbent will be expected to develop a transition plan for moving the student development functions from a campus reporting line to reporting to this position. That includes staffing front-line recommendations and involves the perspectives of student development, student services, faculty, staff and campus leadership.
Job Requirements
Senior Vice President for Student Services, #1037
Requirements:
An earned doctorate from a regionally accredited institution is required.
A minimum of 10 years of successful leadership and management experience in one or more of the major functional areas of student services and student development administration, or comparable experience in increasingly responsible positions in higher education, preferably in community colleges/academic administration.
A strong commitment to the community college mission and to fostering a climate of student completion to certificate or degree.
In depth knowledge of legal requirements related to all aspects of student services, including those regarding students with disabilities, is required.
An ability to link student affairs initiatives to the College's instructional program, thereby creating a climate for student success.
An ability to communicate and engage faculty, staff, and administrators in college-wide decision-making.
Work closely with diverse internal and external administrative leadership; represent the College both internally and externally in a variety of venues and settings; and interact with members of the College Board of Trustees as directed by the President.
Possess an understanding of the diverse missions of community colleges and commitment to those missions.
Strong personal integrity.
An ability to serve as a liaison on joint activities that involve partnerships with colleges and universities and/or governmental relations with legislative officials and other community stakeholders.
An ability to build teams and improve relationships.
Invest in people in order to enhance their performance in a predictable and positive way.
