Dean of the College of Liberal Arts

California State University Long Beach seeks an inspirational leader who possesses the academic, financial, and strategic acumen to execute collaborative, equitable, and transparent leadership for the present and future of the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). The Dean is expected to begin this position in the summer of 2022.

CSULB is a diverse, learning-centered, globally engaged public university, which enriches the lives of its students and its surrounding community through informed, high-impact educational experiences with superior teaching, research, creative activity, and public action. As recently as December of 2020, three national rankings by Money.com place CSULB in the Top 1% of public universities in the nation. For these rankings, Money assessed factors such as educational quality, tuition, financial aid awards, graduation rates, debt load and early-career earnings to yield No. 17 (Best Public University), No. 27 (four-year institutions ranked by value), No. 11 (Most Transformative) spots. In addition, CSULB is ranked No. 1 in the nation for its impact in supporting social mobility, according to a new ranking published by Education Reform Now, a national think tank and advocacy organization for the American public education system. The Wall Street Journal/ Times Higher Education has ranked CSULB No. 4 in the nation for campus diversity.

CLA (see https://cla.csulb.edu) is comprised of thirty-one departments and programs. The faculty offer innovative courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences for all university students and are also responsible for much of the General Education university wide. CLA faculty, staff, and students are preparing a 3-year strategic plan this academic year, which will define actions grounded in the College's aims for social justice and equitable practices; the Dean will play a critical role in implementing CLA's new strategic plan. The Dean will also play a critical leadership role in the success of Beach 2030, an ambitious planning initiative launched in the fall of 2018 (more details are available at Beach 2030).

The Dean must possess an earned terminal degree from an accredited institution in the humanities, liberal arts, or social sciences; an excellent record of university teaching, scholarship and service that would warrant appointment at the rank of tenured full professor in one of the departments or programs housed in the college; demonstrated ability to lead in the areas of teaching, research, and university service; demonstrated commitment to recruiting well-qualified and diverse faculty, as well as an effective support staff who work effectively with a diverse student population; and demonstrated experience working successfully with ethnically and racially diverse student, faculty, and staff populations.
