College of Pharmacy Dean

Belmont University announces a search for the Dean of its College of Pharmacy.  This opening comes at an exciting time for pharmacy education and the profession.  Assurance of a bright future will require commitment for the advancement of pharmacy practice, dedication to training the next generation of pharmacy leaders, and the courage to explore emerging opportunities in the inter-professional health care ecosystem.  There is no better place to address these challenges than in Nashville TN, with its concentration of health services industries, or at Belmont University, with its full contingent of health sciences programs. 

Belmont University likewise finds itself at an extraordinary time.  New leadership, a dynamic and aspirational strategic plan, and unprecedented campus collaboration are converging in creative and innovative ways.  Academic excellence and student focus, our legacy strengths, are adapting to address emerging challenges, including a commitment to whole person formation and an imperative for interdisciplinary programming.  The campus mission is also turned outward, stressing our responsibility to be radical champions in pursuit of a flourishing world for all, tackling multifaceted societal problems whether in Nashville or across the globe. 

These challenges require campus leadership that is boldly pursuing new solutions, while the Belmont DNA also calls for servant leaders who possess a deep commitment to the best tenants of the Christian faith and to fostering a campus of inclusion and belonging.   We solicit applicants who have a passion for shaping a thriving future for Pharmacy and health care and who see themselves as energetic participants in this caring campus community.
