Wayne State College, a success story in higher ed, is enjoying year over year graduate and undergraduate enrollment growth of 28% as well as increased retention. Additionally, the College has made significant capital investments including major renovations of residence halls, Performing Arts Center, School of Education building, and is about to embark on a $26M Athletic Facility.
The Dean of Education and Behavioral Sciences position is a 12-month administrative position that encompasses both leadership and administrative managerial roles. This role assumes primary responsibility and oversight of personnel, activities, budgets, and facilities in the School of Education and Behavioral Sciences.
Reporting to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, the successful candidate will boast a record of scholarship and research, a keen understanding of P-12/post-secondary education and/or behavioral sciences (counseling, human services, psychology, and sociology), and a successful entrepreneurial management style allied with a forward-thinking contemporary institution of higher education.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The responsibilities of the Dean of Education and Behavioral Sciences include but may not be limited to:
Wayne State College serves as a model of success for regional public higher education. Investments in infrastructure and facilities, expanded academic programs and partnerships, a whole-campus approach to recruitment and retention, and a commitment to strategic planning have yielded 28% growth in enrollment during the past six years, soaring to more than 4,500 students.
Increased opportunities at Wayne State have not come with a higher price tag for students. Our aggressive work to keep costs down while leveraging scholarships and aid have resulted in the average indebtedness for graduates decreasing each year for the past four years, from $23,599 to $18,088, while the percentage of students graduating with zero debt has grown to 35% from 31% during the same period.
The College's momentum is sustained by a data-driven blueprint that aims to inspire students, strengthen communities, and serve our region. Our goals are clear: continually improve retention and graduation rates, provide high-quality academic programs and campus facilities, support workforce and economic development in the region, maintain affordability and access, and manage resources for sustainability.
Our physical campus is beautiful and well-positioned to meet our needs. Careful planning and stewardship have resulted in the renovation of Benthack Hall as the site for the School of Education and Behavioral Sciences. This fully renovated facility provides students with an engaging learning environment focused on teacher education and counseling. Additionally, the campus built a new Center for Applied Technology, several completely renovated residence halls, academic buildings, and athletic facilities, and an inviting Campus Commons area at the center of a 128-acre campus that speaks directly to visitors about the pride we have in our history and traditions.
Alongside our commitment to the physical campus, the College's vision, mission, and core values precisely define our highest aspirations, our commitment to the students we educate, and the guidance we have set for ourselves and our important work.
Our vision states that "Wayne State creates an environment of rigorous teaching, active learning, and meaningful service that engages students on a path to transformational leadership." Our mission states that "Wayne State inspires students through access to affordable, high quality academic programs, personalized support services, and a culture committed to diversity, sustainability, and creativity. The College strengthens communities by engaging students in experiential learning and leadership opportunities. Wayne State serves the region through cultural opportunities, strategic partnerships, and innovative economic development programs."
We believe in ourselves and work hard each day to help our community achieve its dreams. The College's core values are around diversity, engaged learning, sustainability, innovation and agility, partnerships, and culture and community, and guide the strategies and the execution of the mission while serving as the foundation for Wayne State's work.
Wayne State started its life as a Normal School in 1891, became a state school in 1910, and was renamed Wayne State College by the Nebraska legislature in 1963. We have become a leading comprehensive college in Northeast Nebraska, with 15 academic departments within four academic schools and more than 130 career pathways.
Wayne State students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends hold this institution in high regard for a reason. The College was borne out of the hard work, tenacity, and grit of early leaders and has been sustained and advanced by the same spirit throughout its history. We invite prospective students and employees to join us on our mission. Learn more at
