The President provides strategic, visionary, informed, and effective leadership and decision-making in a complex, multi-faceted, and public context. The President ensures materials are available for Board activities and participates in the essential functions of the Board, including governance, compliance, and policy formulation.

KPU is at a critical stage in its evolution-coming on the heels of a successful decade of growth and transformation, KPU’s next President will lead an institution which has leveraged the considerable talents of its communities to innovate, raise its profile, rebuild its infrastructure, and solidify its partnerships.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a dynamic leader to take KPU to the next level.
