![](https://jobelephant.com/banners/5027081.gif) South Texas College of Law Houston (STCL Houston) invites inquiries, nominations, and applications for the position of President and Dean.
STCL Houston plays a vital role in the Houston community by developing skilled and ethical graduates who are committed to the highest ideals of the legal profession. Founded in 1923, the law school has more than 50 full-time faculty and 60 adjunct faculty who teach approximately 1,000 students annually, with over 16,000 proud alumni. The law school is one of the largest in the nation, with a challenging curriculum and outstanding opportunities for both full-time and part-time students. STCL Houston's faculty regularly produces substantial high-quality scholarly work, evidenced by the publication of more than 125 books and 250 articles in a wide variety of well-respected law reviews and journals over the last decade. The law school also is devoted to maintaining a faculty and student body that reflects the rich diversity of the local community. STCL Houston students represent a broad spectrum of interests, skills, abilities, and cultural and professional backgrounds.
The President and Dean reports directly to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors chose decades ago to use a dual-responsibility leadership position based on the determination that it is essential for the continued positive evolution of the law school. Consequently, the Board seeks to identify one individual who best meets its needs for the objectives and responsibilities of both positions. The President is the corporation's Chief Executive Officer and reports to the Board of Directors of STCL Houston. The President's leadership responsibilities include all business matters, including public relations, contractual issues, development, and general institutional operations. The Dean is the Chief Academic Officer of the law school. The Dean chairs the faculty and, consistent with faculty governance practices, formulates and directs the educational programs of the law school.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build upon the law school's proud history and develop a clear vision for its future. The law school seeks a leader who will inspire excitement about the STCL Houston mission, connect and engage meaningfully across multiple constituencies, and serve as a role model for STCL Houston students and alumni. The next President and Dean will be a leader of impeccable integrity and judgment with outstanding communication, relationship-building, and management skills, who will build upon the elements of the law school's strategic plan, adapting and changing—where appropriate—to meet emerging challenges. The next leader will be an effective public advocate, regionally and nationally, for the law school and the importance of legal education. More information can be found at wittkieffer.com.
