Innovation Center Director Search

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to tell you that through a transformational legacy gift to the University we are in an immediate position to move ahead with one of our strategic plans without impacting our operational budget: to establish a Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship and hire a director to run the Center. That individual will be tasked with helping us define existing and new spaces for this work, creating a strategy that builds a culture of innovation throughout the campus, and facilitating conversations and processes to deepen the learning experience through innovation. He/she will also seek for external partners to build bridges to communities and businesses. 

The link for applicants for this new position can be found here.

I am taking the unusual step of announcing this to the campus as the remit for this new role is broad, and we would invite you to consider who might be a good fit and, where appropriate, send on the link so that we can have a strong pool of applicants. Through this initiative, we look forward to adding a new dimension to our operations and teaching/learning environment that will both enrich our campus and make it an even more attractive place to come to study and work.

At a later date we will take the opportunity to formally recognize our generous donor and his family.

Sincerely,

Andrea Luxton
President
