The University of St. Thomas (UST), an independent, Catholic, coeducational university committed to the religious ethical and intellectual traditions of Catholic higher education announces a national search for a dynamic and proven leader for the position of President

Founded by the Basilian Fathers in 1947 - and located in Houston, Texas, the 4th largest city in the nation - the University of St. Thomas is the only Catholic university in the greater Houston area. Blessed with the Catholic Basilian tradition, there is a central belief in educating leaders of faith and character, and this is accomplished through a strong core curriculum, dedicated faculty, and innovative co-curricular programs that are designed to complement each other. The University, which is designated as both a Hispanic-serving and Asian-serving institution, enrolls more than 3,600 students, including 2,729 undergraduates and approximately 1,000 graduate students who come from 40 states and 50 countries.

Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the President serves as the chief executive officer of the University with responsibility and final authority for the ongoing and long- term operations of the University of St. Thomas. The President speaks for the University with respect to its policies, priorities, and official statements. In all aspects of the position, the President embodies the University’s mission, demonstrating ethical leadership, cultural competence, and community engagement.

The next President shall be a practicing Catholic committed to the Church
