University of Toledo

President Leadership Profile

The University of Toledo seeks a President who understands the exceptional opportunity this University presents. The University is recruiting a visionary leader committed to imagining the potential of this institution and who will leverage its excellent resources for the 21st century. In so doing, UToledo will set the benchmark for what a public research university can and should do for its community and the world.

The 19th President of UToledo will need to be an individual with demonstrated progressive leadership experience and an entrepreneurial record of success orchestrating growth at a large, complex organization equivalent to UToledo’s $1 billion enterprise. The University will consider individuals recruited from higher education with the appropriate academic credentials (e.g., terminal degree and full professor rank), as well as those with other leadership credentials (e.g., holding public office, CEO of a large complex entity). The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as external stakeholders.

This leadership profile was created by a committee that included faculty, students, trustees, stakeholders, staff and others, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, to highlight information that UToledo’s 19th president should know. For further information, candidates are encouraged to learn more about The University of Toledo at utoledo.edu.

Nominations and applications are invited to be submitted to utoledo.president@edexsearch.com. Education Executives is assisting the UToledo Board of Trustees with its presidential search. The search consultant team is being led by Drs. Ilene H. Nagel and John D. Simon.
