- Abstract:
- The evolving continuum of the collegiate presidency and the skill sets associated with this role are necessary to meet the multidimensional needs of post-modern institutes of higher education. The overarching demands of this position coupled with a large number of expected retirements has created unique opportunities for individuals in non-traditional career trajectories to pursue these positions of executive leadership within higher education. As such, social workers are equipped with an ethical mandate and an incredibly useful skill set that can be valuable in fulfilling the role of a college presidency. However, social work professionals employed in higher education settings are not often associated with positions of executive leadership, namely that of president or chancellor. This research explores the lived experiences among current or former college and university presidents with advanced degrees in social work. The extent to which the NASW Code of Ethics guides these social work presidents when navigating the challenges confronting higher education is central to this study. This qualitative research will also explore how the skill sets and competencies associated with the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) for social work education prepared this unique group of individuals for the roles associated with the college presidency.
