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.

In fulfilling this role, the VPAA serves as the leader and advocate for Mount Union’s academic programs and faculty.

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.
Roles and Responsibilities
The ideal VPAA candidate will:
Foster a civil and collegial environment that encourages effective teaching, professional development, scholarship, and service

Chief Executive Officer Remote, based in the United States Founded in 2011, The Center for Election Science (CES) is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit organization focused on voting reform. CES brings better elections to people across the country through research, advocacy, and reform, with an emphasis on Approval Voting. Under Approval Voting, voters select all the candidates that they support - voters are not limited to just one choice. Approval Voting eliminates the problem of vote splitting that arises under the current predominant “Choose One” voting system. There are no complex runoffs, and Approval Voting costs virtually nothing to implement. Among similarly aligned candidates, Approval Voting promotes a healthy atmosphere of inclusion and cooperation rather than pitting similar candidates against each other (as Choose One voting does). Approval Voting is simple to understand, and it results in clear outcomes for candidates and voters alike. Implemented recently in St. Louis, Missouri, and Fargo, North Dakota, Approval Voting accurately measures voters' level of support for candidates in a way that Choose One Voting does not. Approval Voting allows any number of diverse candidates to run, while still giving every candidate a precise measure of their true support among voters. The next CES CEO will arrive at an exciting and transformational time in the organization’s growth. CES is poised to transition from an educational organization that initiates isolated campaigns TO a national advocacy and technical assistance entity seeking and pursuing national impact. CES seeks to be nationwide. CES seeks to have Approval Voting in every state. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO leads the vision, strategy, and growth of The Center for Election Science and serves as the chief public representative of the organization. The CEO is responsible for providing strategic leadership for CES by working with the Board of Directors and other staff leaders to establish long-range strategic goals, policies, and plans. The CEO has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the strategic growth objectives of the organization are effectively achieved. The CEO both leads and works collaboratively with staff and coalition partners nationwide to pursue CES’ mission of educating, advocating for, establishing, and growing the use of Approval Voting. The next CEO of The Center for Election Science will have a deep-seated commitment to advocacy and experience in driving growth and impact. The Center for Election Science’s purpose and vision should excite and compel this individual. Candidates for the position must bring a sense of creativity, innovation, and a sense of collaboration with communities to the role. The successful candidate will have strong public policy and analytical acumen and will bring demonstrated skills in advocacy, government relations, and building support for a legislative/policy agenda.

Aids/LifeCycle Director
About AIDS/LifeCycle
AIDS/LifeCycle (ALC) is produced by and benefits San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) and the Los Angeles LGBT Center (the Center). The event debuted in 1994 as the California AIDS Ride before it was reconfigured to what is known today as AIDS/LifeCycle (ALC), the world’s largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraiser. AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, seven-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles that raises important awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic, in addition to funding critical services such as HIV testing and screenings for other sexually transmitted infections, ALC funds HIV care, harm reduction, prevention services including PrEP, and more.
AIDS/LifeCycle happens the first full week in June and averages 2500 Cyclists and 500 volunteers (“Roadies”) participating in the event. Participants are united by a common cause: fighting to end HIV and AIDS. AIDS/LifeCycle raises millions of dollars annually to support San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the HIV-related services of the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
AIDS/LifeCycle Participants represent broad diversity: ages range from 18 to 81, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies, as well as participants who are HIV negative or may be living with or affected by HIV. The Ride also boasts over 52% of first-time Cyclists, where nearly all U.S. states/territories are represented at the event, and there is strong international participation, too.
In the seven days it takes the riders to reach Los Angeles, more than 650 people in the United States will contract HIV. More than one million people are currently living with HIV in the U.S., and one in eight people living with HIV nationwide are not aware of their status. Since the California AIDS Ride first began, participants have raised more than $300 million and completed more than 63,000 journeys on bikes from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
A catalyst for change and promoter of HIV/AIDS awareness in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the communities it passes through, AIDS/LifeCycle is the largest and most successful event of its kind nationally and is celebrated as a life-changing experience by its participants.
San Francisco AIDS Foundation is ALC’s fiscal sponsor. SFAF’s mission is to promote health, wellness, and social justice for communities most impacted by HIV, through sexual health and substance use services, advocacy, and community partnerships.

Full Time
Aids/LifeCycle Director
About AIDS/LifeCycle
AIDS/LifeCycle (ALC) is produced by and benefits San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) and the Los Angeles LGBT Center (the Center). The event debuted in 1994 as the California AIDS Ride before it was reconfigured to what is known today as AIDS/LifeCycle (ALC), the world’s largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraiser. AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, seven-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles that raises important awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic, in addition to funding critical services such as HIV testing and screenings for other sexually transmitted infections, ALC funds HIV care, harm reduction, prevention services including PrEP, and more.
AIDS/LifeCycle happens the first full week in June and averages 2500 Cyclists and 500 volunteers (“Roadies”) participating in the event. Participants are united by a common cause: fighting to end HIV and AIDS. AIDS/LifeCycle raises millions of dollars annually to support San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the HIV-related services of the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
AIDS/LifeCycle Participants represent broad diversity: ages range from 18 to 81, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies, as well as participants who are HIV negative or may be living with or affected by HIV. The Ride also boasts over 52% of first-time Cyclists, where nearly all U.S. states/territories are represented at the event, and there is strong international participation, too.
In the seven days it takes the riders to reach Los Angeles, more than 650 people in the United States will contract HIV. More than one million people are currently living with HIV in the U.S., and one in eight people living with HIV nationwide are not aware of their status. Since the California AIDS Ride first began, participants have raised more than $300 million and completed more than 63,000 journeys on bikes from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
A catalyst for change and promoter of HIV/AIDS awareness in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the communities it passes through, AIDS/LifeCycle is the largest and most successful event of its kind nationally and is celebrated as a life-changing experience by its participants.
San Francisco AIDS Foundation is ALC’s fiscal sponsor. SFAF’s mission is to promote health, wellness, and social justice for communities most impacted by HIV, through sexual health and substance use services, advocacy, and community partnerships.
The Center founded the California AIDS Ride in 1994 with a third-party consultant. The Center’s mission is to ensure all members of the LGBT community thrive as healthy, equal, and complete members of society.
