The Board of Directors and President of AASCU invite nominations, expressions of interest, and applications for a new Vice President for Communications and Public Relations.
The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) seeks a visionary individual to develop a comprehensive vision and strategy for the association's communications program, including national branding. The Vice President will oversee a staff of communications professionals working within AASCU and others supporting AASCU's mission through consultancies.

This search comes at a time of great change in higher education during a period when public trust and support for higher education have waned. It also comes at a time of change at AASCU, with a new and energetic president, Dr. Mildred Garcia, at the helm. The AASCU team will build upon the accomplishments of the past and boldly consider the ways in which the association can advance its advocacy, leadership, and service in support of member institutions and in the cause of advancing the distinctive mission of public higher education.

AASCU seeks a Vice President for Communications and Public Relations with exemplary communication and analytical skills, who will have a demonstrated knowledge of and experience with public advocacy campaigns, preferably regarding higher education issues. The next Vice President should have a high level of success with social media campaigns across multiple platforms, and metric-based evidence of results, as well as a deep regard for the mission and role of AASCU and its constituencies. The full description of desired attributes, the application process, and other important information about the position can be found at: https://academic-search.com/sites/default/files/AASCUVP.pdf.

For full consideration by the search committee, applications should be submitted by January 4, 2019.

A hiring decision may be made before January 4th.
