While the American College President Study data point to the diversification of the presidential pathway, there is still a strong desire among search committees to create a pool of candidates that previously served as provosts or chief academic officers. However, institutions may have needs that a non-provost candidate can fulfill with their unique set of skills gained through their work in student affairs, legal affairs, academic affairs, advancement, nonprofits, and more.
On October 10, join the American Council on Education (ACE) and Jan Greenwood, co-founder and senior advisor of the search firm Greenwood Asher & Associates, for a dynamic discussion with presidents and chancellors who did not serve as a provost before taking on their role. Panelists will unpack their pathways and share advice for aspiring non-provost presidents and chancellors.
ACE’s recently published The Changing College President: Aligning Experience with Necessity report will inform this discussion.
