Calvin University, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is seeking its next Vice President for Enrollment Strategy, and has asked FaithSearch Partners to come alongside the university in this search.
Rooted in the Reformed tradition, Calvin’s mission—to equip students to think deeply, to act justly, and to live wholeheartedly as Christ’s agents of renewal in the world—shapes both its academic life and its approach to enrollment. This role offers the opportunity to steward that mission thoughtfully, helping translate Calvin’s strengths into a compelling, confident story for students and families.
The enrollment operation itself is a strong foundation: a capable and committed team, well-established processes, and a sophisticated data and systems environment. The role also invites close partnership with academic leaders, marketing, and advancement—further strengthening alignment across program priorities, institutional storytelling, and long-term sustainability.
This VP role is well suited for a seasoned, relational enrollment leader who enjoys working across boundaries, understands the art of thoughtful sales and storytelling, and brings both joy and purpose to inviting students into a formative educational experience.
If this role sparks your curiosity—or if someone in your network comes to mind, a detailed document describing the role is available upon request. You may also forward a current résumé to Kimberley Wiedefeld at kwiedefeld@faithsearchpartners.com or to Dr. Andrew Westmoreland at awestmoreland@faithsearchpartners.com.
