Opportunity and Challenge Profile Search for the Assistant Vice President for the Arts Stanford University Palo Alto, California Opportunity and Challenge Profile Search for the Assistant Vice President for the Arts Stanford University Palo Alto, California Stanford University seeks an Assistant Vice President (AVP) for the Arts who will help to further implement a cohesive 21st century vision for the arts at the University. Reporting to the Vice President for the Arts (VPA), the AVP will be responsible for evaluating the portfolio of non-academic arts offerings on campus, coordinating efforts across units, and operationalizing a strategy for future creative and artistic endeavors at Stanford. In 2006, the Stanford Arts Initiative was launched in efforts to build more capacity and visibility in the arts with the goal of making the arts a fundamental part of a Stanford education. Over $380 million has been raised for this effort which has included investments in new faculty positions, new graduate fellowships for PhD and MFA students, and many new arts programs and opportunities designed to ensure that every Stanford student can have a meaningful engagement with the arts. As an outgrowth of this initiative, the University has added a new general education curricular requirement for undergraduates in Creative Expression, requiring every undergraduate to enroll in at least one creative practice class before graduation. In addition to the historic and renowned Cantor Art Center, the University has also built three new arts facilities on campus—Bing Concert Hall, the Anderson Collection at Stanford, and the McMurty building—and renovated various rehearsal and performance spaces on campus including the soon to reopen Frost Amphitheater. These state of the art facilities house and showcase various visual and performing arts exhibitions, concerts, and other academic programs. At a time when many higher education institutions were scaling back arts initiatives as a result of the recession, Stanford was increasing its investment in order to further infuse the arts and creative expression across the curriculum and the campus. In early 2017, President Marc Tessier-Lavigne created the Vice President for the Arts role to elevate the arts in the University’s priorities and to lead strategic planning for the University’s arts goals. Harry Elam, professor of theater and performance studies and Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, was named to this position and currently leads all strategic planning for non-academic artistic activities on campus. The AVP will provide crucial support to the VPA in further articulating the scope of and implementing the priorities and goals of the arts at Stanford, and fostering collaboration across the University’s non- departmental arts programs, including the Anderson Collection, Cantor Arts Center, Stanford Live/Bing Concert Hall, as well as the Stanford Arts Institute and the Institute for Diversity in the Arts. The ideal candidate will be an individual who is deeply engaged in thinking about the role the arts can and should play in higher education and society and will have tremendous program coordination skills. As effectively a chief of staff for the organization, this individual will work closely with the VPA and directors to coordinate and prioritize arts activities on campus, and serve as the connective tissue between academic unit heads and faculty, donors, and the greater community to imagine the future of the arts at Stanford. The ideal candidate will have a track record in leading through influence and collaboration, demonstrate a commitment to social justice and equity, and have a passion for, and experience in, managing a diverse portfolio of arts initiatives in a highly complex, decentralized institution. Isaacson, Miller Assistant Vice President for the Arts Stanford University To be successful, the AVP for the Arts must address a key number of opportunities and challenges, including: • In collaboration with the VPA, arts leaders, and the campus community, develop and operationalize the University’s vision for the arts; • Build a more cohesive arts experience at Stanford; work to further connect, prioritize, and integrate arts activities across campus; • Manage and develop financial resources; and • Build rich intellectual engagement in the arts at Stanford. A list of the desired qualifications and characteristics of the Assistant Vice President for the Arts can be found at the conclusion of this document, which was prepared by the search committee with the assistance of Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, to provide background information and detail the key opportunities and challenges related to the position. All confidential applications, inquiries, and nominations should be directed to the parties listed at the conclusion of this document. About Stanford Arts Stanford University has made the arts a significant priority for the institution. Through the Stanford Arts Initiative (2006-2011), the university created new programs and curricula, added new faculty positions, and created new graduate fellowships in the arts. The most visible part of the Arts Initiative was the creation of an arts district at the front of Stanford’s campus. In 2015-16 Stanford opened its third new facility for the arts: the McMurtry Building for the Department of Art and Art History. This remarkable resource, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, is a state-of-the-art platform for the study and making of art. It also represents the dynamism of the arts on campus, with a powerful architectural statement and open and inviting spaces. It is truly a transformative addition to campus, joining Bing Concert Hall (2013), the Anderson Collection at Stanford University (2014), and the Cantor Arts Center (1894; renovation 1999). The proximity of these arts facilities to each other allows for productive interactions, and their location at the front of campus highlights the importance the university has placed on the arts. In fall 2016 Stanford opened the renovation of Roble Gym with new and upgraded theater and dance spaces. Frost Amphitheater will reopen in the spring of 2019 after an extensive renovation. Now the university is looking to jump to the next level with Arts Leap. Through Arts Leap, Stanford Arts will pursue three strategic priorities for the coming years: engaging every Stanford student; generating pioneering programs that are possible only at Stanford; and moving Stanford forward with leading artists, creatives, and scholars. About the Vice President for the Arts The VPA has oversight for all non-departmental arts organizations on campus and leads strategic planning for all arts at large. The office is charged with making Stanford a vibrant home for art and artists with a focus upon imaging a future which leverages the university’s multidisciplinary strengths. The VPA reports to the President and oversees the Assistant Vice President, the directors of Cantor, Anderson, and Stanford Live, and the Senior Director for Finance and Operations. Both the Institute for Diversity in the Arts and the Stanford Arts Institute also report to the VPA. The office works closely with the Senior Director of Arts Communications (University Communications) and the Senior Director of Development for the Arts (Office of Development). The office has an operational budget of $25 million. Isaacson, Miller Page 2 of 5 Assistant Vice President for the Arts Stanford University Role of the Assistant Vice President for the Arts Working closely with the Vice President for the Arts and in close collaboration with other VPA leaders and campus stakeholders, the Assistant Vice President will serve two primary functions: • Provide direction and oversight for current programmatic activities in the Office of the Vice President for the Arts • Implement new programs and university initiatives as appropriate, including coordination of campus visiting artists and the development of new partnerships with outside arts organizations. The Assistant Vice President will also serve as a key liaison among the VPA unit directors, coordinating activities, calendars, and messaging to ensure coherence across the organization. The AVP is also responsible for: • Program Management – provide program direction and oversight in the Office of the Vice President for the Arts • Program Development – work with the Vice President for the Arts to develop new programs and activities that support the strategic directions of VPA • Coordination – work with Vice President for the Arts to coordinate activities, messaging, and calendaring throughout VPA units • Spokesperson – serve as spokesperson delegated to represent the Vice President for the Arts in appropriate university contexts on-campus and off-. Work with Office of Development to represent the VPA to donors and alumni councils. Key Opportunities and Challenges for the Assistant Vice President for the Arts The AVP will join the University at an opportune time in the life of the arts on campus: following ten years of unprecedented institutional investment, the arts are flourishing. With myriad ways to engage in the visual and performing arts, the University seeks a more cohesive and integrated arts strategy in the years ahead. The AVP will help support this effort by providing strong operational expertise, facilitation and coordinating skill, and a strong intellectual sense of how to coalesce artistic efforts for meaningful impact. To that end, the AVP will be expected to: In collaboration with the VPA, arts leaders, and campus community, develop and operationalize the University’s vision for the arts The new AVP will work

  • Co-Operative Living at Stanford a Report of SWOPSI 146
    CoopAtStan-28W Weds May 16 7:00 pm Draft Only — Draft Only — Draft Only Co-operative Living at Stanford A Report of SWOPSI 146 May 1990 Preface This report resulted from the hard work of the students of a Stanford Workshops on Political and Social Issues (SWOPSI) class called “Co-operative Living and the Current Crisis at Stanford.” Both instructors and students worked assiduously during Winter quarter 1990 researching and writing the various sections of this report. The success of the class’s actions at Stanford and of this report resulted from blending academics and activism (a fun but time-consuming combination). Contributing to this report were: Paul Baer (instructor) Chris Balz Natalie Beerer Tom Boellstorff Scott Braun Liz Cook Joanna Davidson (instructor) Yelena Ginzburg John Hagan Maggie Harrison Alan Haynie Madeline Larsen (instructor) Dave Nichols Sarah Otto Ethan Pride Eric Rose (instructor) Randy Schutt Eric Schwitzgebel Raquel Stote Jim Welch Michael Wooding Bruce Wooster ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who contributed to this final report and the resolution of the Co-op crisis. Although we would like to mention everyone by name, it might double the length of this entire document. Our everlasting thanks go out to everyone who contributed. Especially Leland Stanford for having his co-operative vision, the SWOPSI Office for carrying it on and providing the opportunity for this class to happen, Henry Levin, our faculty sponsor for his help with the proposal process, Lee Altenberg, whose tremendous knowledge of Stanford co-operative lore is exceeded only by his boundless passion for the co-ops themselves; the Co-op Alumni network, the folks at the Davis, Berkeley, and Cornell co-ops, NASCO, and all of the existing Stanford co-ops for their support during this entire process.

Some were sym- AND BEYOND 2 bolic: America elected its first black president. Others were literal: China suffered the most devastating earthquake in decades. The most dramatic shift of 2008 was economic: The burst of the U.S. housing bubble and widespread failures in finan- cial regulation swept economies around the globe into crisis. Beyond the worlds of politics and financial markets, a subtler but no less radical shift was tak- ing place. In time, it would touch one billion people across the plan- et. It’s epicenter was the Silicon Valley. YouTube made the video star On a Wednesday evening, Stan- ford music program graduate Jack Conte (class of ‘06) is giv- ing a talk in the studio beneath Bing Concert Hall on campus. A small group has gathered to listen as Conte discusses his lat- est creative projects, including his band, Pomplamoose, formed with fellow Stanford grad Nataly Dawn in 2008 (the duo has a gig on campus Nov. 1). Dressed in a close-fitted tee and a trucker hat, with a boyish face and a lean frame, Conte looks closer to 20 than 30, though a bushy beard Jeffrey Marini lends him a certain hipster gravi- tas.
