East Texas A&M University (ETAMU) seeks an innovative, strategic, and collaborative leader to serve as Dean of the College of Education and Human Services. Reporting to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean will serve as the College’s chief administrative officer and will provide leadership across its academic, research, service, faculty, staff, and student success missions.
This is a significant leadership opportunity at a university that has achieved Carnegie R2 classification and is advancing its research profile, doctoral productivity, and regional impact. The College of Education and Human Services is a critical driver of that mission, with doctoral programs in Counseling, Educational Leadership, Higher Education, and Psychology. The next Dean will be expected to sustain and expand the College’s research capacity, strengthen its doctoral programs, and position COEHS as a regional and statewide leader in education and human services innovation.
The successful candidate will join East Texas A&M at an important moment of growth and transformation. The Dean will have the opportunity to advance a student-ready culture of student success, expand innovative academic programs, strengthen workforce development as a focus of both the College and the University, grow external partnerships, support faculty excellence, and respond to evolving regional needs across East Texas, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and the broader state. This work will also include opportunities to support emerging areas of emphasis, including health sciences, as the College continues to align its academic strengths with student, community, and workforce needs.
