Description
Department Chair - College of Veterinary MedicineLocation:
Clemson, SC
Open Date:
Jan 22, 2024
Description:
Strategically located midway between Atlanta and Charlotte on the I-85 economic corridor, Clemson University is the land-grant university of South Carolina and, according to U.S. News & World Report, ranks #27 among the country's top national public universities. The University has nearly 23,400 students (including nearly 18,600 undergraduates) who can select from 80 undergraduate and 110 graduate degree programs. Clemson employs over 1,150 full-time faculty and has an annual budget expenditure of over $900 million. Clemson University maintains its status as an R1 research university while maintaining a strong focus on undergraduate education.
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is currently seeking accreditation by the American Veterinary Medicine Association (AVMA) to offer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree to approximately 80 students per cohort starting in 2026 (pending approval). CVM plans to utilize a distributive model of education for students' fourth year clinical experience. Its brand-new state of the art main campus will reside in Pendleton, SC, near the T. Ed Garrison Arena, will house research and teaching labs, and utilize both ambulatory services as well as teaching sites at the Clemson University Equine Center, Lamaster Dairy Cattle Center, and other locations for education in the field.
Reporting directly to the Dean, the Chair of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Sciences is a key leadership position in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Department Chair serves as a member of the Dean's leadership team and is a member of the college's executive committee. Clemson University's strategic plan strives to deliver the "No. 1 student experience in the nation, where every student thrives." The Department Chair is critical to the successful implementation of this plan. In this role the Department Chair will have principal oversight of all faculty activities in the CVM.
