The Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education seeks nominations and applications for Chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) to lead a growing, dynamic system of eight institutions committed to serving the needs of the citizens of the State of Nevada. Reporting to the Board of Regents, the Chancellor provides strategic leadership to ensure the System’s institutions align with state priorities, enhance student success, and promote economic development in Nevada. The Chancellor plays a critical role in shaping Nevada’s future by ensuring its higher education system remains innovative, inclusive, and aligned with the state’s economic and social needs and emerging industries.
The Regents seek a new leader to build upon the stability and momentum the NSHE System has gained in recent years. Nevada is a growing state with an economic outlook that is among the brightest in the United States. The demands of a changing economy which also bring increased expectations for higher education, together with initiatives of the Governor and State Legislature, spurred on by a forward-leaning business community throughout the state, offers exceptional opportunities for the right leader to help shape the future direction and momentum of Nevada.
