Pennsylvania Salus University invites applications and nominations for the position of President.
Established by the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO), Salus is the only fully accredited, private academic institution in the country offering professional and graduate degree programs in optometry, audiology, physician assistant studies, public health, and education and rehabilitation in blindness and sensory impairments. PCO's transition to Salus University in 2008 represented a genuine transformation in recognition of the breadth and interconnections in the health sciences and one that affirms the institution's deep commitment to innovation and leading the development of future health practitioners across the globe. With a 92-year history of innovation in education and science, Salus currently enrolls 1,010 students, both on-campus and around the world, and has over 12,000 alumni. The University offers 15 degree and certificate programs, including several distance learning programs. Salus University's main campus is located just outside of Philadelphia in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. The University's facilities also include an expanding group of clinical sites in the greater Philadelphia area.
The University seeks a new leader to usher Salus into its next era of success. Reporting to the Salus University Board of Trustees, the next President will be charged with strategically developing and expanding the University's academic and research programs to maximize interdisciplinary strengths and assets. The University seeks a President who will embrace the commitment to providing high-quality health education, and the value of community engagement through clinical service. Individuals with senior executive experience in academia, healthcare, industry or other appropriate settings are invited to apply.
