Jobs in Mennonite education
President
The Hesston College Board of Directors has launched a national search for the college’s next president. Through work with their partner search firm, Academic Search, the search committee invites applications, nominations and expressions of interest in the opportunity.
The search for Hesston College’s next president calls for a dynamic and visionary leader who will be entrusted with the role of chief executive officer, reporting to the board of directors. The president is not only the spokesperson for the college but also a representation of its values, priorities and mission of student success. Located in Hesston, Kansas, Hesston College is a faith-based academic institution, affiliated with Mennonite Church USA, that educates and nurtures each student within Christ-centered community, integrating thought, life and faith for service to others in the church and the world. The president will nurture, foster and promote a faith-based environment that is foundational to the culture of the college as an academic institution that embraces stewardship, peacemaking, social justice, nonviolence, servant leadership and global citizenship. This includes establishing and maintaining relationships with other faith-based academic institutions, including those affiliated with the Mennonite Education Agency.
Furthermore, the ability to foster a shared vision among all members and stakeholders of the Hesston community is paramount, with an unwavering commitment to nurturing a learning-centered environment. As Hesston College is moving forward with continued plans toward Higher Learning Commission accreditation for four-year programming, the new president will embrace those plans and direct HC forward in that path.
