The successful candidate will be a visionary and entrepreneurial executive, combining strategic thinking with a solid business acumen to enhance personalized learning experiences for students. The CAO will be responsible for the overall delivery of learning experiences, both online and on the main campus, and must be fully engaged in promoting diversity of thought and ideas. This role demands a leader who is a culture role model, embracing non-negotiable behavior expectations that prioritize collaboration, intentionality, and the highest level of engagement. The CAO will also play a key role in driving non-traditional international growth and will be expected to ensure an institutional framework that supports extraordinary teaching and learning experiences.
