Job Description:
Kent State University is pursuing a dynamic leader who is
committed to the ideals of higher education and the values of
participation in intercollegiate athletics. The next Director of
Athletics must be a servant leader who is committed to continued
academic success and graduation, student-athlete well-being, and
the personal development of every student-athlete while continuing
the tradition of winning Mid-American Conference (MAC)
championships, participating in post-season competition and
garnering athletic accomplishments. Consistently among Ohio's top
three largest public universities in terms of enrollment, Kent
State University is ranked by the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching among the nation's 91 public
higher-research universities. Kent State is the highest-ranking
public university in Northern Ohio on the Top Public Schools and
Best National Universities lists by U.S. News & World Report. With
eight campuses, three academic centers in Ohio, and academic sites
in major world cities, Kent State is one of Ohio's leading public
universities and a major educational, economic and cultural
resource far beyond the Northeast Ohio region it has served since
1910. The Director of Athletics will report directly to the
President and be a contributing member of the President's Cabinet,
comprised of excellent leaders who are excited to support and
engage in mutual collaborations across campus to provide benefit
for both the university and the Athletics program. The Director of
Athletics will provide leadership to outstanding coaches,
administrators, support staff and most significantly the
student-athletes while managing and providing oversight to the
Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Director of Athletics
will be charged to uphold the integrity of the Athletics Program
through compliance to NCAA rules and regulations, policies and
procedures of the university and the State of Ohio. Revenue
generation, marketing and demonstrated fundraising skills will be
necessary assets to assist in the viability and sustainability of
the department's budget. Kent State is seeking a Director who will
be a strategic forward thinker, a visionary leader who has the
ability to articulate their vision while understanding the needs of
the Athletics program, university and a changing NCAA environment.
As an effective communicator both to internal and external
constituents, the Director will need to build relationships and be
a goodwill ambassador to students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors,
former student-athletes, corporate partners, media entities,
community leaders, the City of Kent and Northeast Ohio. As the
leader of this multi-faceted organization, the Director of
Athletics must support and embrace diversity, equity and inclusion
while welcoming a variety of perspectives that will better serve
decision making and important initiatives. The Director will need
to adapt to the current challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
subsequent recovery process. The Director should utilize the
Mission, Vision and Core Values of Kent State University Athletics
to align with the campus and to establish a caring and supportive
culture that engages all members of the Department and provides
opportunity for open communication and dialogue. The preferred
candidate will have Division I experience, exceptional
organizational skills, and experience in the hiring, evaluation and
professional development of coaches and staff members. For more
