ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL UNIVERSITY (AAMU)

The Board of Trustees of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) invite applications and nominations for its next president. After twelve years of a dynamic and successful presidency, Dr. Andrew Hugine announced his decision to retire from the presidency effective January 1, 2022. During his tenure, President Hugine led Alabama A&M University (AAMU) through sustained fiscal stability, student growth, the development of many new academic programs, and enrichments in student life.

AAMU seeks a leader with a strategic vision capable of meeting the challenges of a growing and innovative, historically student-friendly and community-focused institution of higher education. AAMU's president will lead the university as it continues to create a dynamic culture that reflects on its heritage as a historically black college and university (HBCU) and a traditional 1890 land-grant institution with a rich STEM-based curriculum. AAMU functions as a teaching, research and public service institution. Founded in 1875 by a former slave, Dr. William Hooper Councill, AAMU is a dynamic and progressive institution with a strong commitment to academic excellence. The serene, intimate campus is situated on "The Hill," only a short distance from downtown Huntsville, the site of the school's founding.

The next President of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University will meet these minimum requirements:

• Possess the appropriate training and academic credentials to gain faculty support and confidence.
• Five to seven years of a demonstrated history of effective leadership.
• Must be accessible to students, university community and be personable.
• Demonstrate successful innovative and visionary accomplishments.
• Be a leader of unquestioned integrity.
• Understand the role of athletics in student life.
• Possess high moral and ethical character.
• Demonstrate successful fundraising capability.
• Demonstrate global vision and leadership.
