POSITION: Dean of the School of Health Professions & Sport Studies

Bucks County Community College seeks a collaborative, visionary, and entrepreneurial Dean to join our vibrant community of scholars and lead our School of Health Professions & Sport Studies into a new era. Building on the College’s strong reputation in healthcare education, clinical preparation, and transfer pathways to leading colleges and universities, as well as its strategic location in a region rich with regional health systems, clinical providers, and community health organizations, the next dean will cultivate relationships with key institutions across the region and beyond. The Dean will develop clinical placement and employment pipelines, transfer pathways, and mutually beneficial joint ventures; expand external grants, clinical partnerships, and private philanthropy; strengthen enrollment; and position the School of Health Professions & Sport Studies as a preferred partner for healthcare organizations, sports enterprises, health and physical education programs, schools, organizations, and academic institutions.

We seek an individual with the vision to position the School as a pivotal player within the regional healthcare and wellness ecosystem; the skills to establish strategic partnerships and joint ventures; the ability to inspire faculty and work with them to identify emerging opportunities, refine existing curricula, and reach new student populations; the ability to partner with the College’s advancement team to secure grants, corporate sponsorships, and private philanthropy; and the business acumen to manage complex instructional and clinical operations in a fiscally responsible manner. The Dean will also support innovative teaching and learning practices across health, physical education, exercise science, and sport-related disciplines.

They will partner with faculty to maintain high academic and clinical standards, identify strategic opportunities for program development, and secure external resources through grants, donations, corporate sponsorships, and clinical affiliations with regional health systems, hospitals, outpatient centers, and sports organizations. The Dean will foster connections among health education, physical education, exercise science, sport, and wellness to promote interdisciplinary teaching, learning, and workforce development. The Dean will manage personnel, hire and evaluate faculty, oversee specialized clinical facilities, equipment, and lab resources, and lead ongoing compliance, self-studies, site visits, and reporting for all specialized programmatic accreditations as well as state licensing boards.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
