PRESIDENT SEARCH

​

The next president of O’Dowd will chart a course for the future of the institution, staying true to our Catholic mission and our Charism values of academic excellence, strength of character, social justice, community in diversity, kinship with creation, and joy. Working in close collaboration with faculty, staff, students, alumni, and trustees, the president will continue to build, recruit, and retain a best-in-class team of academic and administrative leaders, while fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and community. 

​

Our Search Committee intends to fill the position of president for the coming 2023-2024 school year, and will gather direct input from the faculty and the broader O’Dowd community, including parents and alumni. Finalists will be determined by the committee and recommended for final review and appointment by Bishop Michael Barber, S.J..
