It is within this context that Toronto Metropolitan University invites applications and nominations for the appointment of its next Dean, The G.

This appointment will be for a term of five years and is renewable for a second term as outlined in the Policy and Procedures Relating to Search Committees and Appointments in the Academic Administration (AAA Policy).
Reporting to the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, Dr. Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, the Dean, The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education ("Chang School") is responsible for all aspects of the School's operations including strategy, policy development, implementation, and financial and human resources management. The Dean will continue to enhance the School's excellence in continuing education in a highly competitive and changing environment of lifelong learning. The Dean will foster a collaborative culture that supports the School's lecturers, faculty and staff, and ensure existing and future relationships with all of its partners are positive and enhance the School's reputation and credibility as Canada’s largest provider of university-based continuing education. The Dean will contribute to TMU's successful academic and strategic planning process and build an accountability framework that demonstrates and promotes the School’s academic quality, responsiveness, and fiscal responsibility through revenue generation activities.

You are enthusiastic, hold a strong commitment to lifelong learning, a demonstrated record of building innovative and co-operative working relationships, and possess the leadership skills to foster positive and collaborative relationships with TMU's academic units and ensure ongoing success in an entrepreneurial continuing education setting. Familiarity with university constituencies is a strong asset. Candidates must hold a graduate degree, preferably a Ph.D. The ideal candidate embodies what Toronto Metropolitan University is known for: collegiality, innovation and entrepreneurship, nimbleness, and responsiveness.
