Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences

Saint Xavier University, in Chicago, invites nominations and applications for the position of Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. The position is available July 1, 2020.

Saint Xavier University (SXU) is a distinguished four-year, private Catholic institution located in a residential neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1846 and chartered in 1847, Saint Xavier holds the distinctions of being Chicago's first Catholic university.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SONHS), recognized for excellence by both national and regional organizations, in the heart of one of the country's great metropolitan centers. The SONHS encompasses the School of Nursing, and the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, as well as additional programs in Exercise Science, Sports and Fitness Administration and Gerontology Studies. The SONHS's administrative structure now also includes the Saint Xavier University Health Center, which serves the needs of students, faculty, staff and the community, and the Ludden Speech and Language Clinic. The SONHS is one of only three Chicago area nursing programs that has been designated by the National League for Nursing as a Center of Excellence in nursing education for efforts in creating and sustaining an environment that enhances student learning and professional development within a culture of intentional caring; and in 2018 it became one of only five schools nationwide to have received this designation for a fourth consecutive time.

The new Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences will hold an earned doctorate (or the equivalent professional degree) and be eligible for appointment at the rank of professor with tenure.
