(July 17, 2019) -- President Taylor Eighmy today announced the launch of national searches to fill three key leadership positions for the university: the Vice President for Research, Economic Development and Knowledge Enterprise (VPREDKE), the Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations (VPDAR) and the Vice President for University Relations (VPUR).
In May, President Eighmy announced the university’s intent to commence a search for a permanent vice president to lead UTSA’s research enterprise, in addition to leadership for newly reconfigured offices focused on development/alumni relations and university relations. All three Vice Presidents will serve on the President’s Cabinet.
Websites dedicated to the three searches are now live and include full position descriptions, timelines. The search committees for each search—comprised of faculty, staff, students and external partners—are also listed.
The majority of the search committees’ work will take place this summer, with the goal of appointing the three vice president positions this fall.
“These three Vice Presidents play critical roles in positioning UTSA for success in achieving our bold vision, particularly for future strategic growth,” said Eighmy. “I am confident that the outcomes of these searches will reinforce our density of leadership excellence.”
