All inquiries, applications and nominations for this opportunity should be directed to the search firm as indicated at the end of this document. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Founded in 1892 by John D. Rockefeller, the University of Chicago is one of the world's leading universities, with an extraordinary history of world-renowned research and education across a broad spectrum of fields. More than 80 Nobel laureates are associated with the University of Chicago, including eight current faculty members. One former senior lecturer is currently President of the United States. The University of Chicago is known for its excellent faculty, a consistently strong and increasingly diverse student body, a distinctive urban campus with strong community connections, and a strong financial position. In 2012, US News and World Report ranked the University of Chicago 5th in its annual survey of the Best Colleges. The University is home to over 2,200 faculty and academic personnel and students from 50 U.S. states and 72 countries. In the fall of 2012, the University enrolled over 5,000 students in its undergraduate College, 7,400 students in its graduate arts and sciences programs and professional schools, and over 700 students in special programs. There are also approximately 2,000 students enrolled in off-campus programs, including the Booth School of Business campuses in London and Singapore. Undergraduates in the College at Chicago choose among 50 undergraduate majors and 29 minors. The College is notable for its core curriculum, the most expansive amongst highly ranked American colleges. Graduate students study in four arts and sciences divisions (physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, and humanities) and six highly-ranked professional schools (Chicago Booth School of Business, the Pritzker School of Medicine, law, divinity, the Harris School of Public Policy, and social service administration). Students also enroll in the nation’s first continuing education program. The University runs on a quarter system in which the academic year is divided into four terms. Located in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood on Lake Michigan, the University’s 211 acres were designated a botanic garden in 1997 and feature traditional English Gothic and modern buildings designed by world-class architects. Additionally, the University operates a major medical center; the nation’s largest academic press; two national laboratories (the Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab – Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory); the renowned N-12 laboratory schools that have led many innovations in education; and four charter school campuses on the South Side of Chicago. The University of Chicago is one of the nation's leading research institutions. In the fiscal year 2011, the University was awarded more than $444 million in sponsored funding, about half of which came from the Department of Health and Human Services (primarily from the National Institutes of Health) and another 10 percent from the National Science Foundation. In addition, Argonne and Fermilab were awarded an additional amount of more than $1 billion in sponsored funding in FY2011.

Under his leadership, the Office of Civic Engagement is focused on expanding the University’s impact and influence across the full geographic spectrum—University, Neighborhood, City, Region, Nation, and Globe. To that end, the Office of Civic Engagement facilitates research connections between the university, the city, and the region; as well as leading the institution’s efforts in economic development, civic partnerships, and a number of urban initiatives.
