President

The Capital University Board of Trustees invites inquiries,

nominations, and applications for the University's 18th president.

The University seeks an inspiring, creative, and strategic leader

who will be able to advance innovation and strengthen the

institution for long-term sustainability and success. The new

president is expected to take office on August 1, 2025.

Capital University educates its more than 2,200 students to make a

positive impact in their communities and chosen industries through

engaging academic, co-curricular, and professional experiences.

Rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, Capital offers 61 majors

and 56 minors in its traditional undergraduate program and features

a Conservatory of Music in addition to its schools of Management

and Leadership, Education, and Nursing. Graduate and graduate dual

degrees are offered in eight areas of study and include programs at

the Capital University Law School and Trinity Lutheran

Seminary.

Capital's 54-acre campus is situated in the Columbus, Ohio,

community of Bexley. Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital is

adjacent to the Bexley campus, and the Capital University Law

School is located four miles west at the heart of downtown

Columbus, one of the fastest growing cities in the Midwest.

The next president has the opportunity to help galvanize the

Capital community around a compelling shared vision and strategy as

the University evolves to meet the challenges of the future. As a

visible and engaged member of the Capital community, the successful

candidate will provide collaborative, consultative, and decisive

leadership for the University. The president will be nimble and

forward-thinking and bring an innovative approach to ensuring

financial sustainability, fostering enrollment success, championing

academic and inclusive excellence, building community, honing the

University's identity, raising visibility for Capital, and

nurturing partnerships in Bexley, Columbus, and across Ohio. The

president will have successful experience leading and navigating a

complex organizational structure, with a preference for previous

university experience.
