The search for Iowa State's next Raisbeck Endowed Dean of the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business has moved to the candidate recruitment phase. Current dean David Spalding will retire during the summer of 2025.
The search committee, co-chaired by College of Veterinary Medicine dean Dan Grooms and associate provost for academic programs Ann Marie VanDerZanden, recently finalized a position description with input from Ivy faculty and staff, including feedback received in two listening sessions.
The position description notes that preferred candidates will have a passion for student success and proven leadership, communications and fundraising skills; be able to foster strong relationships with students, faculty, staff and external stakeholders; and help the college contribute to Iowa State's land-grant mission, among other attributes.
Candidates must have a graduate or professional degree and a distinguished record of accomplishment in higher education, business practice or public service commensurate with the expectations of a tenured full professor in the college.
Nominations and applications may be submitted to the Buffkin/Baker search firm at isuivydean@buffkinbaker.com. Applications should include a cover letter, CV and three references. Preliminary screening of candidates is expected to begin in January.
More information about the search is available on the provost's office website.
