The Georgia Institute of Technology seeks a strategic, innovative, and collaborative leader to serve as its next Vice Provost for Enrollment Management (VPEM). Applications, inquiries, and nominations are invited.
The Georgia Institute of Technology ("Georgia Tech", "The Institute" or "Institute") is a top-ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with numerous economic and cultural strengths. Georgia Tech has instructional sites in Metz, France, and Savannah, Georgia, and has facilitated research collaborations across the globe. The Institute serves more than 50,000 students through top ranked undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs in engineering, computing, science, business, design, and liberal arts. It has been the nation’s fastest-growing public university over the past decade and is the largest in the state.
Georgia Tech's faculty attracted $1.37 billion in research awards in fiscal year 2024 in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to biomedical technology, energy, neuroscience, national security, semiconductors, and sustainability. Georgia Tech is home to seven colleges that include the College of Engineering, College of Computing, Scheller College of Business, College of Sciences, College of Design, Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Lifetime Learning. Georgia Tech’s world-renowned faculty are not only pioneers in research and innovation but also dedicated educators who bring their expertise into the classroom, fostering a rigorous and engaging learning environment that prepares students to lead and excel in the evolving world. As of 2025, 49 faculty members have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, five to the National Academy of Sciences, and more than 100 as Fellows of the American Association for Advancement of Science.
Georgia Tech is entering a transformative phase as it advances the second half of its ambitious decade-long strategic plan, guided by four “Big Bets” that are driving the Institute’s commitment to growth with a focus on student outcomes, research growth, innovation, and lifelong learning. In fall 2024, Georgia Tech welcomed approximately 5,326 new undergraduate students, reflecting a notable record of increases in applications and record-setting first-year and transfer class sizes. Under President Ángel Cabrera’s leadership, it has been a priority to not only increase the size of Georgia Tech's first-year class and overall undergraduate enrollment but also to enhance the breadth of backgrounds, perspectives, and passions within the Institute's community.
Reporting to the Provost, the VPEM will spearhead the vision and strategy to propel Georgia Tech's enrollment to new heights in alignment with the Institute's strategic plan. This work will be done in broad collaboration with campus partners and a dedicated team in Enrollment Management to drive forward current momentum and achieve results. To execute this vital work, the VPEM will provide leadership for a team comprised of the Office of Undergraduate Admission, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, Enrollment Marketing and Communications, the Office of Scholar Programs, the Bill Moore Student Success Center building (which houses enrollment operations and facilities), and the recently formed Office of Strategic Student Access.
Georgia Tech is seeking an experienced thought leader who will bring a diplomatic, collaborative, and innovative approach to leading enrollment management. The next VPEM will be a skilled communicator who invests deeply in institutional relationships and brings significant leadership and managerial experience in enrollment management, ideally with an understanding of the public research university environment. The VPEM will be a respected and influential leader across campus, capable of facilitating discussions with faculty, staff, and administration about enrollment considerations and actively participating in decision-making processes. Additionally, the VPEM will bring the skills to lead enrollment in a complex environment: exceptional analytical capacity and technological sophistication; the ability to make connections across the Institute; and an understanding of selective, holistic enrollment with attention to balancing multiple priorities and goals.
All applications, nominations, and inquiries are invited. Applications should include, as separate documents, a CV or resume and a letter of interest addressing the themes in the leadership profile.
