Executive Director, Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society
Department:
Academic Affairs Administration | Office of the Provost
The Ohio State University’s motto, “disciplina in civitatem” or “education for citizenship,” is not merely a slogan; it’s an exhortation to remain focused on the responsibility to develop an informed, engaged, and civic-minded citizenry. It is essential to fulfilling Ohio State’s land-grant mission.

In July 2023, the Ohio General Assembly created and provided $10 million in initial funding to support the Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society (Chase Center) at the University, which offers the University the opportunity to advance this imperative on a national scale. The University, through a seven-member academic council of eminent scholars appointed by the Board of Trustees and confirmed by the Ohio Senate, is now conducting a nationwide search for the center’s inaugural Executive Director.

The Executive Director, who will report directly to the University’s Provost, will have a unique and powerful opportunity to define the center’s vision, appoint at least 15 tenure-track scholars to realize that vision, and oversee the development of curriculum in accordance with the statutory mission to “conduct teaching and research in the historical ideas, traditions, and texts that have shaped the American constitutional order and society.”

The Chase Center’s initial academic focus will be on developing a curriculum focused on undergraduate education for citizenship and civic leadership, which will enable students to both understand the foundational principles of American society and identify when and how to apply, reinforce, and advance those principles to address present and future challenges. The enacting legislation further provides that the Chase Center must “educate students by means of free, open, and rigorous intellectual inquiry to seek the truth”; provide them with the tools necessary “to reach their own informed conclusions on matters of social and political importance”; promote intellectual diversity; and “create a community dedicated to an ethic of civil and free inquiry.”

In addition to holding this administrative role, the Executive Director will be a faculty member with tenure or tenure eligibility. The Executive Director will directly hire and manage faculty members and additional staff as appropriate, oversee the development and implementation of curriculum offered at the center, and create a variety of innovative educational and collaboration opportunities for students and faculty from across the university. The Chase Center will be an independent academic center, but will be initially physically housed in the University’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs.

Ultimately, as the Chase Center develops with the support of the Board of Trustees and senior university leadership, the Executive Director must prioritize, first and foremost, the development of an academic unit of the highest caliber, one that advances the University’s reputation for excellence and its mission of promoting education for citizenship. The goal is clear: a program of excellence that will prepare students to serve as thought leaders in addressing the multi-faceted issues they will face upon graduation.

Key Responsibilities

The Executive Director will be responsible for:

Overseeing the creation and establishment of the Chase Center
Managing the recruitment, hiring, appointment, onboarding, and ongoing supervision of at least 15 tenure-track faculty members and additional staff who will work in the center, as well as facilitating joint appointments with other departments at the University as appropriate
Developing and promoting the curriculum, programming, and other activities of the center
Building relationships with key internal and external interested parties regarding center operations
Consulting with the seven-member academic council appointed by the Board of Trustees and confirmed by the Ohio Senate as appropriate in realizing the center’s vision
Developing, updating, and adhering to a budget for center operations
Serving as a faculty member and meeting all faculty obligations
Providing an annual report on the center’s development and operations to the Board of Trustees and Ohio General Assembly

To honor the legacy of Mary Bowman and support other accomplished young and emerging art activists ("artivists") like her, the National AIDS Memorial has partnered with ViiV Healthcare to create the Mary Bowman Arts in Activism Award. Student and non-student art activists are welcome to apply for this award. These $5,000 awards are intended to support young and emerging artivists each year who exemplify Mary’s passion for the arts as the vehicle for their own HIV/AIDS and/or health and social justice community activism and expression. Recipients of the Mary Bowman Arts in Activism Award use their art and activism to raise greater awareness about bigotry, stigma, and social justice around the issue of HIV/AIDS and/or health and social inequities that fuel the spread of the disease.

Applications will be accepted until the deadline of July 15, 2024, 5pm PT. Awardees will be notified by September 1. More information about the program can be
found at https://www.aidsmemorial.org/mary-bowman-arts-in-activism-award.
