Университет Сан-Франциско объявил поиск нового декана Школы образования

University of San Francisco, School of Education San Francisco, California The University of San Francisco (USF), a private, Catholic, Jesuit research university, seeks applications and nominations for the Dean of the School of Education (SOE). Known for its pioneering work in humanizing education, urban education, and counseling and engaged learning, particularly in Schools and communities most affected by injustice, the SOE produces first-class leaders who work in solidarity with communities to improve the lives of those who need it most. The incoming Dean will join USF at a time of great opportunity; in this shifting political climate, they will have a unique platform from which to impact the national educational landscape, from one of the most socially minded universities in one of the most progressive cities and diverse regions in the world. The University of San Francisco was established in 1855 by the Jesuit Fathers as San Francisco’s first institution of higher learning. Once a one-room Schoolhouse, USF has grown to become San Francisco’s largest independent university. With a mission of promoting learning in the Jesuit Catholic tradition, USF educates leaders for a more humane and just world, as characterized in their statement, “Change the World from Here.” The University takes pride in being a diverse, socially responsible learning community with deep roots in social justice and globalism. USF’s School of Education is the largest graduate School of education in Northern California and has remained true to this mission of driving new ways of thinking about education since its inception in 1948. Today, it is a destination that draws scholars and social justice advocates alike from around the globe to study, serve, and teach. It is currently the largest graduate program at the university, offering certificate, master’s, and doctoral degree programs to approximately 1,100 students in San Francisco, in addition to locations in Downtown San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, San Jose, East Bay, and Orange County. The incoming Dean of the School of Education (SOE) will join the administration at a time of tremendous excitement and opportunity. Under the leadership of President Salvador Aceves ’83, EdD ’95, and Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Eileen Fung, USF is experiencing a new era of growth within the SOE while advancing the university’s broader priorities: the continued enhancement of academic excellence, strengthening community partnerships, and deepening service to students. To achieve these goals, the Dean will address the following opportunities and challenges: - Continue to provide visionary and strategic leadership that better positions the School as a national as well as local leader while fostering innovation and academic excellence; - Raise funds and expand resources to ensure the School is able to reach its full potential; - Lead efforts that strengthen the School’s programs and ensure student success; - Preserve the School’s collaborative culture while ensuring continued operational stability and transparency; - Expand strategic partnerships and elevate the School’s local and national profile.
