I’M CONSIDERING SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES, WHY SHOULD I PUT THE NSHE CHANCELLOR POSITION AT THE TOP OF MY LIST?

Stellar Location: Residents of Nevada enjoy a high desert landscape set against a backdrop of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. With an economy originally founded on mining but shifting to tourism by the mid-20th century, Nevada complements its tourist-centric economy with an emerging highly skilled technological base. The population of Nevada is highly diverse, and this is reflected in its educational system as a whole.

The Time is Right: The Regents seek a new leader to build upon the stability and momentum the System has gained in recent years:

• Nevada is a growing state with an economic outlook that is among the brightest in the United States.
• The demands of a changing economy also bring increased expectations for higher education.
• Significant progress has been made to create strategic partnerships with K-12 school districts to promote college and career readiness.
• Forward-leaning business community throughout the state.
• Exceptional opportunities for the right leader to help shape the future direction and  momentum of this vital state and region.
