Associate Vice President of Enrollment

Reporting to the Vice President for Enrollment & Dean of Admission and Financial Aid, the Associate Vice President of Enrollment will serve as a key member of the senior enrollment leadership team and a collaborative partner across the institution.

This role is designed to strengthen coordination, elevate shared strategy, and support the continued evolution of enrollment efforts in ways that build on the College’s established strengths and long-standing expertise.

Founded in 1926, Sarah Lawrence College established a reputation for innovation and creativity in its model of residential undergraduate education and commitment to lifelong learning.

The College has steadfastly maintained its commitment to the liberal arts over its history, continually offering a BA in the liberal arts, the single undergraduate degree at the heart of its endeavor, along with a distinctive suite of graduate and professional degrees and lifelong learning opportunities.

The College has not been burdened by traditional departmental and curricular structures, and the education has always been infused with a focus on the whole student, a recognition of the essential need for a multi-disciplinary perspective, and a deeply held value for the role of the arts in the liberal arts, all nurtured through opportunities for close work with faculty.

The College has consistently ranked among the leading liberal arts colleges in the country and includes a community of approximately 1,400 undergraduate students, 300 graduate students, and 265 faculty members. Sarah Lawrence students share an enthusiasm for intellectual rigor, academic risk taking, creativity in all disciplines, collaborative engagement, and original and interdisciplinary work.

The College is particularly committed to supporting a faculty, staff, administration, and student body that reflects the social, racial, and economic diversity that characterizes our society. The College’s undergraduate students come from nearly every state and from 50+ countries, with alumni residing in more than 80 countries. More than 80 percent of undergraduates live on campus.

This role requires a bachelor’s degree; a graduate degree and/or equivalent credential is preferred. The ideal candidate will have at least 7–10 years of progressively responsible experience in college admissions, enrollment management, or a related field, with a minimum of five years in leadership roles.

Experience in a liberal arts environment is valued; however, the College is also interested in candidates from specialized or mission-driven institutions (e.g., arts, engineering, business-focused) or those with a combination of relevant admissions and consulting experience, who bring transferable insight into enrolling distinct student populations.

This person will have exceptional operational skills, an adept strategic and analytical capability, and a technological, innovative, and resourceful orientation.
