Position Profile

For 162 years, Swarthmore College has believed in the power of rigorous intellectual inquiry to help shape a better, more just world. This commitment, combined with talented students, deeply engaged faculty, committed staff, exceptional institutional strength, and a belief in the transformative power of a liberal arts education, continues to guide the College today.

Now, Swarthmore seeks an equally extraordinary leader. The next president of Swarthmore College will have a singular opportunity: to help define the future of the liberal arts at a pivotal moment for higher education and demonstrate how critical thinking prepares students to flourish and lead in an era of technological, social, and economic transformation.
