Dean College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management; CSTEMM

Dean for College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management (CSTEMM)

The University of Wisconsin-Stout Polytechnic (UW-Stout Polytechnic) is seeking applications for Dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Management (CSTEMM). CSTEMM serves more than half of all UW-Stout Polytechnic students and works as a critical cross-disciplinary partner to meet the dynamic and emerging needs of our graduates and robust partnership network.

As Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University, UW-Stout Polytechnic's unique mission prioritizes three educational tenets: applied learning and research, business and industry collaboration, and career-focused experiences. These tenets are formalized via a variety of intentional mechanisms including a 100% experiential learning requirement across all programs; active program advisory committees comprised of employers, alumni and UW-Stout Polytechnic faculty and staff that meet regularly to review curriculum and to foster continuous improvement of all academic programs;

a record of hiring faculty and staff with both academic credentials and in-field/professional experiences; and a commitment to general education, the Stout Core, as critical to student success. One measure of success that supports our mission is UW-Stout Polytechnic's student career outcomes. UW-Stout Polytechnic's 99% graduate placement rate (students employed within six months or continuing education) remains unsurpassed within the University of Wisconsin System.

The College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management (CSTEMM) expands the reach of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to include cross-disciplinary partnerships in the areas of leadership and management. The result is a robust college network that includes eight academic departments, two schools - the Robert

F. Cervenka School of Engineering and the School of Management, two centers, and the Army ROTC program. CSTEMM is comprised of several nationally recognized and accredited programs, four distinguished professorships, and provides in-person, hybrid, and online offerings, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Offerings also include certificates and specializations available to working adults, and pre-professional pathways in the Health Sciences areas.

As a direct report to the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, the position is responsible for the general oversight, strategic vision, operational and active leadership of the departments, schools and centers that comprise CSTEMM. To elevate UW-Stout Polytechnic’s educational tenets, the Dean will collaborate with faculty, appropriate university, local, and extended community partners to expand applied learning opportunities such as apprenticeships, co-ops, and internships.

The Dean will work with appropriate university partners to actively engage in seeking and securing external funding opportunities not just limited to grants and expanding business and industry partnerships in the region and beyond. UW-Stout Polytechnic is currently developing its second comprehensive academic plan, and the dean will leverage that work to further ensure the success of CSTEMM. This is a full-time, 12-month, academic limited appointment.

Applicants may be considered for a concurrent tenure appointment per UWS Administrative Policy 1250. The projected start date is January 1, 2027.
