Description and Duties
The City College of New York invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the School of Education. We seek a dynamic educator with a collaborative leadership style and a compelling vision for a uniquely situated urban School of Education, which:
The School of Education,
which has been in existence since 1921, educates approximately 2,000 graduate
and 100 undergraduate majors annually to become educational professionals in an
urban environment. The School comprises three departments: Childhood Education,
Secondary Education, and Leadership and Special Education. Within each
Department, there are a number of programs of specialization vital to a
multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic school.
City College is the oldest senior college in the City University of New York
system, and has been committed to the dual goals of accessibility and academic
quality since its founding in 1847. The campus occupies thirty-five tree-lined
acres along Convent Avenue from 131st to 141st Street in
the borough of Manhattan. The College has an international reputation for its
ability to promote scholarly excellence in its approximately 15,000
undergraduate and graduate students of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds
and economic circumstances. It is a major center for research and scholarship,
leading the City University in attracting outside funding for research
activities. It boasts nine Nobel Prize winners among its alumni, a record
unmatched by any other public college.
The Dean assumes leadership in the management and administration of the School,
including curriculum development, program planning, budgeting, and the
acquisition of external funding, including intensive fundraising. He/She maintains liaisons with other administrators of the
College, Federal and State and City agencies, related organizations and

reports to the Provost/Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
