Vice President for Enrollment Management Vice President for Enrollment Management Widener University seeks a strategic, innovative, and forward-thinking leader to serve as the new Vice President for Enrollment Management. The Vice President for Enrollment Management will report directly to President Julie E. Wollman and will oversee a division that newly combines undergraduate and graduate admissions and traditional elements of enrollment management like the bursar, registrar, financial aid, and campus one-card. The Vice President will have the opportunity to design a cohesive, nimble, and innovative enrollment strategy and operation that encompasses the full range of students whom Widener serves, from traditional full-time undergraduates, to undergraduates seeking accelerated or 4+1 combination degrees, to part-time and full-time graduate students, to adults seeking career advancement or degree completion through continuing or professional education. The creation of this merged undergraduate/graduate enrollment division and the elevation of the chief enrollment officer role to the President’s Leadership Team reflects Widener’s bold and entrepreneurial commitment to addressing the challenges facing higher education. Widener is ideally positioned for enrollment innovation as it offers a wide range of liberal arts and professional disciplines, a variety of degrees and programs, and multiple learning modalities across its eight schools and colleges and three campuses. The main campus’s location 20 minutes from Philadelphia on the I-95 corridor is another key asset. While Widener has a track record of being nimble and fast-moving, the University’s culture at all levels is warm, friendly, and people-focused. The new Vice President must reflect this combination of speed and compassion in their leadership style and in the substance of their work. Widener’s leaders across the University are eager to partner with their enrollment colleague to imagine new and better ways to fulfill Widener’s mission of empowering its community of learners to discover and create better futures. While the admissions functions of the University’s two law schools will not report to this position, those deans are also committed to a deep and fruitful partnership. ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY Since its founding in 1821, Widener has undergone multiple transformations to become a selective, nationally ranked, doctoral university. Today, Widener offers bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and certificate programs to approximately 6,500 students across three campuses and online. Widener’s distinctive collection of programs reflects its foundational belief that the liberal arts and sciences and professional/pre-professional programs are mutually reinforcing. The University is proud to embrace the following eight schools and colleges: • College of Arts & Sciences • College of Health & Human Services • School of Business Administration • School of Engineering • School of Nursing Widener University, Vice President for Enrollment Management Page 2 • Commonwealth Law School (in Harrisburg, PA) • Delaware Law School (in Wilmington, DE) • Center for Graduate & Continuing Studies In addition, Widener has developed a number of innovative interdisciplinary offerings and research programs, including: new undergraduate majors in Business Analytics and Robotics Engineering (one of a few in the country): pioneering interprofessional graduate programs in the health sciences that mirror the way the health professionals work together in today’s healthcare settings; accelerated programs that provide the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years; a pioneering graduate program in Human Sexuality; a PsyD/MBA program that prepares executive coaches; groundbreaking multidisciplinary research and programs addressing challenges in neuroscience and medical care; and a sustainability law and policy program combining environmental science with legal education. Widener University’s main campus in the City of Chester is located just off I-95 and is only twenty minutes from Philadelphia, the nation’s sixth-largest city and home to world-class art, culture, sports, entertainment, and history. The main campus sits on 110 acres and has benefited from more than $220 million in new construction and renovations over the past decade. A space master planning process is currently underway to evaluate the physical plant and align it with the University’s strategy. On its other two campuses, Widener has the unusual distinction of hosting two law schools that operate independently from each other: Widener University Commonwealth Law School and Widener University Delaware Law School. Widener University Law School was separated into two independently accredited and operating law schools in 2015 in recognition that the two campuses had developed powerful and distinctive identities and career pathways specific to their geographic locations. Widener University Commonwealth Law is focused in particular on the interaction of law and government and leverages its location in the Pennsylvania state capital to enrich students’ experiences. Widener University Delaware Law, the only law school in Delaware, has particular strength in corporate law and is an integral part of the legal community in America’s corporate capital. MISSION AND VALUES Widener recently articulated a new statement of mission and of university values. The University is embarking on a new and truly innovative university strategy, which was developed in 2020. The strategy, Agility Experienced, focuses on agility and creating an exceptional student experience. A Commitment to Academic Rigor and Student Success At the heart of a Widener education is the transformation of its students into scholars, leaders, and globally engaged citizens. Its faculty, supported by staff and administrators, meet this goal in several ways. A 12:1 student/faculty ratio allows for close interactions between faculty and students and facilitates experiential learning. Since the turn of the 21st century, Widener has emerged as a leading university. Strong leadership, shared vision, a global perspective, and an empowered university community have combined to position Widener as a university on the move and one to watch internationally, nationally, and regionally. Widener's powerhouse, top-ranked programs make full use of the numerous interdisciplinary opportunities at the University. Widener University, Vice President for Enrollment Management Page 3 The University is committed to the highest levels of academic rigor. The Delaware Law and Commonwealth Law Schools are ranked among the best law schools nationally by The Princeton Review. Widener’s Social Work program was ranked as the top online social work graduate program. Widener’s School of Business Administration and its Small Business Development Center have been named a SAP Next-Gen Lab for Design Thinking and Analytics, making it the only small business development center to earn this designation out of 1,100 centers nationwide. The School of Nursing has been designated as one of six Centers of Excellence for Advancing the Science of Nursing Education by the National League for Nursing, the oldest professional nursing organization in the United States. A Commitment to Civic Engagement Widener’s civic engagement is known, valued, promoted, and lived by senior administrators, faculty, staff, and undergraduate and graduate students alike. A 21st-century Widener education looks to the surrounding communities as partners. The University operates numerous clinics and centers on and around its campuses. Through its leadership and conviction to work with and in the local community, Widener has created an environment of service and a willingness to engage in partnership. This environment is enhanced by and reinforces the academic rigor and focus on student transformation that is at the heart of the Widener mission. The Widener Partnership Charter School (WPCS), the state’s first university-sponsored charter school, offers a holistic curriculum for grades K to 8. The University supports the charter school by providing leadership support, access to University facilities, and administrative, fundraising, and technology support. In turn, WPCS provides learning opportunities for Widener students in Education, Social Work, Clinical Psychology, Physical Therapy, and Nursing. Graduates from WPCS who meet criteria for admission to Widener University are guaranteed a generous financial aid package. A Commitment to Leadership Development Increasingly, a Widener education is about global leadership. Widener encourages all of its students to partake in short- or long-term international study and makes numerous opportunities available. Students in various fields in the College of Health and Human Services work together to provide services to one of the largest orphanages in China. Undergraduate engineering students helped to bring electricity to a rural village in Panama, and undergraduate environmental science students have conducted research in the Amazon forest and have worked with farmers in Costa Rica to encourage the growth of organic, sustainable, shade-grown coffee. The University has also established a greater global presence through partnerships with Chongqing Technology and Business University in China and Dongseo University in South Korea. Widener regularly invites nationally recognized leaders to the Main Campus to speak about pivotal leadership moments and share their wisdom with the Widener community. Last year, the University brought Disney's Duncan

    SJUMagazine_Cover:Final 7/28/09 12:38 PM Page 1 Saint Joseph’s University, Winter 2008 SJU Launches Capital Campaign: Lead Gift from Hagan Family Students Get a Share With Faith and Strength to Dare to Transform Fieldhouse of Wall Street — From Campus IFC Presidents Letter:Spring 2007 7/28/09 12:39 PM Page 1 FROM THE PRESIDENT As I walk around campus and interact with the wonderful individuals and groups that make up the Saint Joseph’s community, I am reminded of the wealth of programs — academic, administrative, social and spiritual — that continue to lead us on the path to preeminence outlined in Plan 2010. As we move forward with this plan, few initiatives will be as crucial to its success as With Faith and Strength to Dare: The Campaign for Saint Joseph’s University. Earlier this fall, the campaign began in earnest with a weekend of events, including a spectacular gala to celebrate the progress made during the campaign’s silent phase and to anticipate the success going forward. A recap of this historic evening and more details of the campaign are conveyed in this magazine’s cover story. The campaign’s escalating momentum reinforces our goal of being recognized as the preeminent Catholic, comprehensive university in the Northeast. As the University’s first comprehensive campaign, With Faith and Strength to Dare is about fulfilling that vision as well as giving it meaning. Preeminence is about much more than being “bigger and better.” It is about offering the best possible living and learning experience, so we can provide to the world individuals who have critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity and the moral discernment rooted in Christian values to create a caring and just society — to be men and women with and for others.
