Leadership & Management
The University of Michigan-Flint (UM-Flint) invites applications and nominations for the position of Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management.
UM-Flint serves approximately 6,500 learners and offers degrees in over 190 areas of study with over 60 graduate programs and certificates, including more than 5 doctoral programs. The academic campus community comprises over 500 faculty members, in addition to over 450 staff. Faculty pour their expertise and creativity into developing research and service-learning projects that match course curricula with the region’s most pressing issues. These projects bring learning to life, address community needs and fulfill the students’ desires to contribute to the common good. This dedication to service has earned UM-Flint many accolades. In 2010 and again in 2020, UM-Flint received the prestigious Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement. Then, in 2015, UM-Flint was cited as a model campus for civic engagement programming by the Michigan Campus Compact.
In 2026, UM-Flint will mark its 70th anniversary, and celebrate its position as one of only three campuses of the world-renowned University of Michigan. Today, the campus continues to transform as it grows academically with new undergraduate and graduate degree offerings, expanding partnerships with local and regional entities and industries, and remains committed to the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion by making an affordable, accessible education possible to residents of Genesee and surrounding counties. Infrastructure investments represent another aspect of the campus transformation highlighted by the $50 million Innovation and Technology Complex. The campus recently formulated and finalized a 10-year comprehensive campus master plan which can be viewed here: https://www.umflint.edu/chancellor/campus-plan/.
Reporting to the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management (VCEM) will lead a talented and dedicated team of enrollment management staff that includes Admissions, Financial Aid, Registrar, Graduate Programs, Student Success Center and other enrollment-related services. The ideal candidate has a thorough understanding of enrollment management best practices in higher education, particularly with first-year, transfer, adult, graduate, and international student populations with the demonstrated ability to increase conversion rates. With the full support of the Chancellor and Cabinet, the VCEM will be charged with elevating an integrated and robust enrollment function strongly using data analytics to inform decision making. Recruitment, retention and persistence to graduation are areas of critical importance to this role. Efforts must be aimed at strategically positioning UM-Flint for long-term growth and future success.
The successful candidate will be an innovative, visionary, and collaborative enrollment leader. An understanding of emerging technologies and enrollment trends and opportunities will be assets for the role. Experience in strategic planning and personnel management is required. The successful leader will see a challenge as an opportunity and bring a deep, abiding commitment to the University’s values of diversity and access.
