Job DescriptionJob Description

The Company:

For more than 175 years, Taylor University has been one of the most Christ-centered, student- focused universities in the world. Founded in 1846, Taylor is recognized as an institution that prizes student learning, celebrates intentional community, leads in the work of faith-learning integration, and stands as the oldest non-denominational school within the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). For 26 consecutive years, Taylor has been ranked as one of the top three universities in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report and one of Americas Top Colleges according to Forbes. In addition, Taylor has been named a Christian College of Distinction with four notable strengths: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities, and successful outcomes.


The culture of Taylor is one of high collegiality, deep care, compassion, and shared Christian commitment. A new presidential administration has catalyzed a season of significant energy and excitement on campus. The University recently completed a yearlong strategic-planning process involving a wide spectrum of Taylors constituents, including students, faculty and staff, parents, alumni, trustees, administrators, donors, and friends. The resulting strategic plan, Taylor Thrives, is the distillation of thousands of hours of prayer, discussion, and revision and represents the very best thinking the extended Taylor family has to offer. The six priority pillars and 125 individual objectives it details will position Taylors campus, community, and mission to not only survive but thrive in the years ahead. We believe Taylor Thrives will move the University from excellence to eminence among our peers over the next five years. In short, this is an exciting time to be at Taylor.
