Roosevelt University is a private nonprofit institution founded in 1945 on the principles of social and racial justice. The University continues to champion diversity, inclusion and access through experiential learning that transcends the classroom.  Located in downtown Chicago, Roosevelt is home to 4,700 students studying in more than 70 undergraduate programs, more than 50 graduate programs and doctoral degrees in pharmacy and clinical psychology. The hallmarks of the Roosevelt University experience are strong student-faculty interaction and engagement with metropolitan Chicago as both a laboratory for learning and as an expression of its commitment to social justice.

As the chief academic officer, the Provost/Executive Vice President will play a pivotal role in setting and achieving the academic vision for the university and helping to ensure the integration of key university operations in collaboration with other members of the senior leadership team. The Provost/EVP is a key member of the executive leadership team of Roosevelt University and, as the president’s second-in-command, works closely with the President and the Board of Trustees.

The Provost/EVP will provide conceptual and operational leadership for Roosevelt’s distinctive academic programs, driving strategic planning, academic budgeting, program development, assessment and review, and academic policies and procedures. They will work collaboratively through shared governance to advance Roosevelt University’s academic excellence and commitment to social justice.
