THE UNIVERSITY:
Montana State University-Northern (MSUN), located in north-central Montana approximately 40 miles south of the Canadian border, is a comprehensive university serving approximately 1,300 students in an unusually large geographic region.  It is one of six baccalaureate institutions comprising the Montana University System.  “By the numbers,” as of fall 2012,
  • 90% of students at MSUN are Montana residents;
  • 34% are first-generation students;
  • 12.3% are self-identified as of Native American descent;

THE OPPORTUNITY:
Montana State University-Northern (MSUN) offers the opportunity to an energetic, career-oriented, student-focused professional who seeks to make a significant contribution to the educational environment of an institution that is undergoing significant transformational change.  Within the past year, the university has completed an exhaustive academic program review to ensure that all academic offerings are relevant to the needs of the region—an initiative which will result in the creation of new programs and the maintenance, growth, and elimination of others, leading ultimately to the identification of a specific niche market.  Concurrently, a Student Success division has been created to coordinate student recruitment and retention initiatives, and significant progress has been made in remodeling/upgrading physical facilities. 

The Dean of Student Engagement/Director of Residence Life will spearhead our next major initiative:   to identify, develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive, collaborative approach to student development and involvement.  This initiative will help set the course for the future as MSUN becomes an institution known as a place where students develop skills as life-long learners and productive citizens.
