Vice President for Academic Affairs
Introduction
The University of Mount Union invites applications and nominations for the position of Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), who will report to Gregory L. King, 14th president of the University.
A private institution founded in 1846, Mount Union offers a variety of rigorous and relevant academic programs that are grounded in the liberal arts tradition. Mount Union’s nearly 2,100 students can select from 45 broad-based and career-specific undergraduate majors, including recent additions in engineering, nursing, and data science. In addition, eight graduate programs are offered in fields such as physician assistant studies, physical therapy, education, and business, with additions in nursing and occupational therapy slated to begin in 2025 and 2026 respectively.
Known for its academic excellence and personal approach, the institution boasts a 13:1 student- faculty ratio and an average class size of 16. Mount Union’s robust curriculum is delivered in-person and online by dedicated faculty members, 91% of whom hold terminal degrees in their fields. Of our 126 full-time faculty members, 58% are tenured, and 21% are on tenure track.
Mount Union and its programs have been recognized regionally and nationally for quality and value. Our undergraduate nursing (Nurse.org, 2023) and sport business (Bachelor’s Degree Center, 2023) programs have been ranked #1 in Ohio. Among graduate programs, Mount Union was tied for the top spot in a listing of the Best Private Institutions for Online Master of Education programs and tied for 2nd in a ranking of the Best Physician Assistant Program in Ohio (both by US News, 2023). Athletically, Mount Union has been ranked as the top Ohio Athletic Conference School and 20th in all of Division III in the 2022-2023 LEARFIELD Director’s Cup Standings. As an institution, the University is ranked #18 for Best Value and #30 overall in the Midwest Regional Universities category (US News, 2022-2023) and was named the Best Small Employer in Ohio (Forbes, 2023).
Over the past two decades, Mount Union has invested more than $200 million in the construction and renovation of modern facilities, including a natural sciences building, recreation center, apartment-style housing, a health and medical sciences facility, a performing arts center, a business and engineering building, a football coaching center, and an esports and golf facility. The institution’s commitment to diversity has resulted in a newly-constructed center for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and the appointment of a dedicated chief diversity officer.
The University features a student-centered approach and an exceptional educational experience, offering an array of activities for cultural, civic, and social development. Students experience outstanding opportunities for success after graduation, both in the workforce and in graduate study.
A strong commitment to financial stewardship has resulted in 68 consecutive years of balanced financial operations on campus. The University’s endowment is in excess of $165 million.

A community-engaged leader comfortable in a small campus setting, who desires and appreciates frequent interaction with faculty, staff, and students; actively participates in community life; and is committed to being visible and accessible both on and off campus.
An accomplished academic leader who is energized by Mount Union’s mission to prepare students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work, and responsible citizenship, capable of working with the University’s strategic initiatives, and committed to building a graduate culture on campus.
A clear communicator who has the skills to work effectively in one-on-one settings and in small and large groups, and who is able to serve as an effective public spokesperson for the academic program and the University, both on and off campus.
A student of higher education who has developed a broad knowledge base regarding recent trends and challenges facing higher education, and who is creative in understanding market need, digital innovation, accessibility, and academic program possibilities.
An effective relationship-builder and decision-maker who understands the process of building consensus around ideas and courses of action – one who listens carefully and considers diverse viewpoints, and who is then able to make clear and timely decisions.
An astute financial manager capable of careful financial planning and analysis, budget development, priority setting, and resource allocation, and assuring accountability.
