Associate Vice Provost for Global Programs
Global engagement is a key priority at Penn State and is a
foundation of the University's strategic plan: OUR COMMITMENT TO
IMPACT--The Pennsylvania State University's Strategic Plan for 2016
to 2025.
Penn State's global engagement is multidimensional, broad-based,
and spans the teaching, research, and service mission of the
University. A globally ranked global Land-grant university with
research expenditures in excess of $1B, Penn State sends
approximately 3,000 students abroad every year to over 50 different
countries through a diverse portfolio of academically grounded
education abroad opportunities, and warmly welcomes over 9,000
graduate and undergraduate international students from more than
140 countries. In any year, we may host some 800 visiting
international research scholars and a third of our research
publications are with international co-authors at over 3,000
institutions outside the U.S. Penn State also has significant
strategic partnerships with several universities around the world
that leverage our joint physical and intellectual capital. The
Office of Global Programs' strategic plan for 2020-2025 is designed
to ensure pervasive global learning and research across the
University, and to continue Penn State's elevation as a global
university with a global identity for advancing knowledge,
educating future leaders, and solving the world's greatest
challenges.
To help in attaining those goals, Penn State is in search of an

stewarding the University's strategic partnerships around the
world. Reporting directly to the VP, the AVP is expected to
supervise critical staff in Global Programs while working with
faculty, administrators, staff, and students across the University
and with our international partners to promote and implement the
University's global engagement strategy.
The position is located at the University Park campus and serves
all of Penn State's 16 academic colleges, 7 interdisciplinary
research institutes, 24 campuses (including a graduate school, two
law schools, and a medical school), the online World Campus, and
our 100,000 students and 17,000 faculty and staff.

- Ph.D. or equivalent with a current or previous tenured faculty appointment at a University with a research folio;
