Dean of the School of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies

Alverno College seeks a Dean of the School of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LAPS) who is an innovative, collaborative, and student-focused servant leader. Working in close partnership with V.P. for Academic Affairs Gina Rossetti, the academic leadership team, and the LAPS community, the Dean will lead the School to its next level of academic excellence, student success and faculty support and engagement. In addition, the Dean will be a visible leader in the community, championing Alverno’s mission to be an “inclusive community that engages students in active and collaborative learning and fosters academic excellence.” The opportunity to serve as Dean of LAPS comes at a moment of significant possibility for Alverno College. The next Dean will join a mission-driven institution known nationally for its innovative abilities-based approach to teaching and learning, a model that has influenced higher education far beyond the College’s Milwaukee campus. The School of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies offers a strong foundation of programs that prepare students for meaningful careers and civic engagement. The Dean will have the opportunity to build upon this foundation by exploring new programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and flexible learning pathways.
