NOVA Alexandria Campus Seeks interim MSTB Dean

NOVA is seeking an interim Mathematics, Sciences, Technologies and Business (MSTB) Dean to serve the NOVA Alexandria Campus from approximately October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

The interim dean must hold at least a master’s degree in a teaching field within one of the Mathematics, Sciences, Technologies, and Business Division disciplines from a regionally-accredited institution. Because the interim position may also encompass interim leadership for the Education & Public Services Pathway Council (depending on the credential), letters of interest from qualified internal candidates with at least a master’s in a related teaching discipline will also be considered. In addition, the interim dean must have at least two years of administrative responsibility, including program oversight, personnel supervision and budget management. Evidence of providing academic leadership and building collegial relationships will also be considered.

For the period of this appointment, the interim dean must commit to working at the NOVA Alexandria Campus and maintaining an active and visible presence throughout the campus and community. The interim dean will serve as a member of the Academic Deans Council with all associated responsibilities and will report to the NOVA Alexandria Provost. Acting pay, in accordance with VCCS policy, will be provided for the duration of this appointment.

NOVA employees who meet these qualifications, understand the requirements and wish to be considered for the role of interim MSTB and Pathway Dean should submit a one-page letter of interest to Geri Dolan in the Alexandria Provost’s Office no later than Noon, Wednesday, August 18 (gdolan@nvcc.edu). The interim dean will be selected and appointed by the Alexandria Provost from the pool of qualified individuals expressing interest.

Please Note:  This announcement does not constitute or replace the full search for the NOVA Alexandria Campus MSTB and Education & Public Services Pathway dean. A national search based on the complete EWP for this position will be conducted by NOVA during fall 2021. The interim dean is eligible to apply. The expectation is that the successful candidate in the national search will begin their appointment as Alexandria MSTB and Education & Public Services Technologies Pathway Dean no later than January 2022.
