    Webster University, a private, nonprofit, multi-campus, international institution serving more than 20,000 students worldwide, invites inquiries, nominations and applications for the position of Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs.  Dedicated to ensuring high-quality learning experiences that transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence, Webster University is characterized by small classes and close relationships among faculty and students, and by educational programs that join theory and practice through utilization of faculty with both academic and practitioner credentials.  The vision of Webster University is to be a premier U.S. - based international university setting a distinct standard for global education. Forty percent of all students across Webster campuses study abroad
    At its main campus in Webster Groves, MO, a picturesque suburb of St. Louis, Webster University serves over 8,400 students including 4,800 graduate students and 3,600 undergraduates.  Throughout the United States, the University offers degree programs for working adults in metropolitan centers, military education installations, and corporations in 21 states.  The University has international campuses in Austria, China, England, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Thailand.  Students can choose from programs in the schools of business and technology, communications or education, or from majors in the colleges of fine arts or arts and sciences.  Many graduate programs in fields of business and management, and education are available on line.  Webster University is a top tier institution in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Universities – Master/Midwest” listing.  In 2008, the Chronicle of Higher Education named Webster to their list of Great Colleges to Work For.
    Reporting to the President and a member of the President’s Cabinet, the Vice President will be a key player in carrying out several institutional strategic goals for the 2020 Strategic Plan. In accord with the Strategic Plan, members of the campus community will participate in a campus-wide engagement in a review of institutional branding.  The review is expected to lead to the development of a new approach to an integrated strategic communications plan, which will necessitate the review of communications structures and processes.

    In addition to participation in activities related to the institutional strategic plan, the Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs will provide vision and leadership for a division that includes areas in Enrollment Management and Student Affairs.  Enrollment Management areas include:  undergraduate recruitment and admission worldwide; graduate recruitment and admission worldwide; international student recruitment and services; registrar; financial aid; marketing.  Student Affairs areas include: Dean of Students; housing and residence life; dining services; career services; counseling; health services; campus ministries; student leadership development; Webster Village apartments; multicultural center; international student affairs; new student orientation; judicial affairs; athletics and recreation; university center and student activities.
