UND is launching a national search for its next vice president for Health Affairs and dean of the School of Medicine & Health Sciences (SMHS).<\/p>\n

The successful candidate will begin no later than Jan. 1, 2025, and will succeed Dr. Joshua Wynne. Dr. Wynne will have served 15 years at UND by the time his successor is announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Wynne has been a trusted and valued leader for SMHS and for the entire campus, and we are grateful for his work in making the University of North Dakota a leader in education, research and service to the state of North Dakota and the nation,\u201d said UND President Andy Armacost.<\/p>\n

Dr. Art Malloy, vice president for student affairs, and Dr. Maridee Shogren, dean of the College of Nursing & Professional Disciplines, will co-chair the search committee. They will be supported by WittKieffer, a search firm that offers executive-search services focused on education, health care and life sciences, to develop a candidate pool over the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for the volunteerism and spirit of service of the 20 search committee members,\u201d said Armacost. \u201cThey represent a broad set of constituents connected with SMHS and UND, and we are eager to see their progress in attracting renowned and talented candidates to lead the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consultants with WittKieffer are conducting focus groups the weeks of March 18 and 25 to better understand what the UND community wants in its next VPHA\/dean. The campus community can participate in this process via survey, which can be found on the\u00a0search website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Semi-finalist interviews will be conducted in mid-August, and finalists will be invited to campus shortly thereafter. Additional search information is available\u00a0online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
