The University of Dubuque Has Begun a National Search for a Vice President for Finance and Administration

DUBUQUE, Iowa - The University of Dubuque has begun a national search for an innovative, strategic, and values-driven vice president for finance and administration to lead UD’s financial and operational strategy in alignment with its mission and long-term goals.

Reporting directly to UD President Travis L. Frampton, PhD, and serving as a key member of the President's Cabinet, the vice president for finance and administration provides executive leadership for financial planning, accounting, budgeting, investments, facilities, risk man­agement, and administrative operations.

This is a pivotal moment in UD's history - building on more than two decades of remarkable transformation that have strengthened the University's academic programs, physical campus, and financial foundation. With an endowment exceeding $350 million, sustained enrollment, and a culture of stewardship and innovation, the University of Dubuque is well positioned for continued success.

Continuing the work of his predecessors, Frampton has already initiated significant advancements in his first year, including the process of establishing the John and Alice Butler College of Osteopathic Medicine (proposed, applicant seeking accreditation), a major expansion of the aviation program and the Edward Babka Aviation Learning Center, and the construction of the 75,000-square-foot Chlapaty Center for Innovation.
