student experience. The Director will also guide the continued growth and evolution of the School, fostering innovation in teaching and positioning the program for long-term success in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.

Alliant International University is a private institution accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and is celebrating 100 years of impact in higher education. Throughout its history, the university has been dedicated to preparing students for professional careers that require advanced knowledge and highly specialized skills. The School of Nursing and Health Sciences includes programs in Nursing and Occupational Therapy and is committed to advancing healthcare education while addressing the needs of diverse communities.

The Director will build upon the School's current strengths and its dedicated faculty to become a widely recognized national and international leader in nursing education. This individual will serve as a visionary and collaborative leader who can bring together faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners to advance the School's mission and expand its global impact. Working closely with the Dean, the Director will foster a culture of academic excellence, innovation, and inclusivity, while ensuring students are prepared to meet the demands of a technologically advanced and evolving healthcare landscape.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong record of academic achievement and leadership, including an earned doctoral degree from an accredited institution, with at least one graduate degree in nursing. If the doctoral degree is not in nursing, a master's degree in nursing is required. Candidates should have a demonstrated history of success in teaching, scholarship, and service, along with prior leadership experience, preferably in an academic setting. Additional qualifications include experience mentoring faculty, managing complex initiatives, and supporting program growth. Certification as a Nurse Educator (CNE) is expected within the first year, and eligibility for core faculty status is required.

Nominations, expressions of interest, and applications should be sent to Diane Smulling Smith and Brittany Amaral, preferably via email at bamaral@wittkieffer.com.
