Vice President for Finance & Administration Vice President for Finance & Administration 1 The Opportunity Fisk University, located in Nashville, Tennessee, seeks an experienced and highly qualified financial and operational leader to assume the role of Vice President for Finance & Administration (VPFA). Fisk University is engaged in a significant expansion and is undergoing a major Renaissance. The Vice President reports directly to the University President, Dr. H. James Williams, and will manage a multi-faceted division, while serving as a key member of the University’s executive leadership team. Ideally, the new Vice President will assume responsibilities in the Spring Semester of 2015. The University Founded in 1866, shortly after the end of the Civil War, Fisk University is a historically black university, and is the oldest institution of higher learning in Nashville, Tennessee. The school was named in honor of General Clinton B. Fisk of the Tennessee Freedmen's Bureau, who provided the new institution with facilities in former Union Army barracks near the present site of Nashville's Union Station. The work of Fisk's founders was sponsored by the American Missionary Association — later part of the United Church of Christ – with which Fisk retains an affiliation today. The tradition of excellence at Fisk has developed out of a history marked by struggle and uncertainty. The University’s world-famous Fisk Jubilee Singers® originated as a group of traveling students who set out from Nashville on October 6, 1871, taking the entire contents of the University treasury with them for travel expenses, praying that through their music they could somehow raise enough money to keep open the doors of their debt-ridden school. To this day, each October 6th, Fisk pauses to observe the anniversary of the singers' departure from campus in 1871. The contemporary Fisk Jubilee Singers® perform in a University convocation — and conclude the day's celebration with a pilgrimage to the gravesites of the original singers, where once again, the old songs are sung at the burial places of their first performers. In 1930, Fisk became the first African-American institution to gain accreditation by a regional accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). It was also the first such institution to be placed on the approved lists of the Association of American Universities (1933) and the American Association of University Women (1948). One of the outstanding achievements in the history of the University occurred in 1953, when The Phi Beta Kappa Society granted a charter to Fisk University and, by this action, Fisk became the host of the first 2 chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society on a predominantly black campus. In fact, today, Fisk is one of only four Historically Black Colleges or Universities that has a chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society. From its earliest days, Fisk has played a leadership role in the education of African Americans. Fisk faculty and alumni have been among America's intellectual, artistic, and civic leaders in every generation since the University's beginnings. Among them have been the following luminaries. W.E.B. Du Bois (Fisk class of 1888), the great social critic and co-founder of the NAACP. Booker T. Washington, the great educator who was Du Bois's famous philosophical adversary as well as the founder of Tuskegee University, who served on Fisk's Board of Trustees, married a Fisk alumna, and sent his children to Fisk. John Hope Franklin, renowned African American historian and distinguished author. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, the crusading journalist, attended Fisk. Charles Spurgeon Johnson, Fisk's first black president, helped to conceive the modern science of sociology. The distinguished Harlem Renaissance artist Aaron Douglas, who founded the Art Department and served on the Fisk faculty for many years, was honored, in 2013, with a new set of U.S. Postal Service stamps commemorating his art work. His murals decorate the walls of the University's Erastus Milo Cravath Hall. The University continues to attract outstanding students and produce successful graduates. The following leaders are among those on the list of distinguished alumni. Carolyn Reid-Wallace, scholar and author, former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, and former and first female president of Fisk University. Hazel R. O'Leary, first female and seventh U.S Secretary of Energy, and past president of Fisk University. Johnetta Betsch Cole, former president of Spelman College and Bennett College for Women. Niara Sudarkasa, former and only female president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. 3 Judith Jamison, acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and Artistic Director of the Alvin Alley American Dance Theater. Rel Dowdell, acclaimed filmmaker and producer. John Bluford III, former CEO of Truman Medical Center and past president of the American Hospital Association. Alma Powell, author and co-founder of America's Promise Alliance. Today, Fisk University is in a period of what can best be described as a renaissance. Under the leadership of President H. James Williams, the University is experiencing significant growth in enrollment and a continuation of quality in each new class. Enrollment in 2012 was 620, which was a 16 percent increase over the previous year and the enrollment continues to increase, with 645 students in 2013, and 773 students enrolled in 2014. The Mission of the University Fisk University’s mission continues to focus on producing graduates from diverse backgrounds with the integrity and intellect required for substantive contributions to society. The curriculum is grounded in the liberal arts and the faculty and administrators emphasize the discovery and advancement of knowledge through research in the natural and social sciences, business, and the humanities. Finally, the University is committed to the success of scholars and leaders who possess global perspectives. This commitment and all decisions are guided by the following values: Diversity; Excellence; Teamwork; Accountability; Integrity; Leadership; and Service. The Academic Programs From its founding in 1866, academic excellence has been the hallmark of Fisk University, one of the foremost research and teaching universities in the United States. Fisk offers its students an exceptional curriculum with dynamic learning and mentoring experiences by an award-winning, professionally renowned faculty. 4 The undergraduate programs are built around two schools, The School of Humanities and Social Sciences and The School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Business. In addition, The School of Graduate Studies offers MA degrees in the Natural Science Disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and also in Clinical and General Psychology. Fisk is also engaged in multiple partnerships with other institutions to link the Master’s trainees with Ph.D. programs in their fields of interest. A prime example of these programs is the Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s-to- Ph.D. Bridge Program in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The Fisk-Vanderbilt Master’s-to- Ph.D. Program has been very successful, with twelve graduates in the past four years, all in physics, astronomy, and materials science. This perpetuates the legacy of excellence that is evident in the University’s undergraduate and graduate STEM programs. The School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Business consists of the departments of Business Administration, Life and Physical Sciences, and Mathematics & Computer Science. These three departments offer a wide range of programs. The Department of Business Administration offers a major in business administration for the Bachelor of Science degree. Within the major, students may choose a specialized concentration in accounting, financial economics, international business relations, and management. Students may also pursue a joint baccalaureate degree and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree in conjunction with the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University. A concentration is available in Music Business through a partnership with Belmont University. The Department of Life and Physical Sciences is considered a multidisciplinary program. It has integrated the natural science departments to provide students with an environment that fosters interdisciplinary thinking 5 The School of Humanities and Behavioral Social Sciences focuses on the disciplines of education, psychology, and sociology that comprise the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Education. Psychology and Sociology share a common focus—human behavior. Inspired by the success of its graduates and a distinguished faculty, the Department of Arts and Languages offers majors in Art, English, Modern Foreign Languages, and Music. The students are supported by a strong faculty who are scholars, practitioners, and leaders in their disciplines. The Campus and Student Life Fisk University's vibrant campus life helps students develop leadership skills, character, and discipline. As part of the University’s commitment to cultivating leaders and scholars, students are provided a place to grow as individuals and learn to become accountable for their actions. There's always something going on at Fisk University. Every week the Office of Student Engagement offers lectures, movies, sports, volunteer opportunities, and more. There are more than 50 student groups and organizations on campus, and that number continues to expand because students are encouraged to start new clubs and organizations every year.
