Chief operating officer job in Winona, MN
Minnesota State College Southeast seeks applications and nominations for their next president to lead with integrity, vision, and heart. This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead a highly valued, high-impact institution with campuses in Winona and Red Wing, Minnesota-two communities that embody collaboration, creativity, and regional vitality. Minnesota State College Southeast is an organization that is deeply committed to its mission, proud of its people, and poised for continued innovation and growth.
The next president will be a visionary, student-centered, and community-focused leader. The ideal candidate will embrace both the Red Wing and Winona communities as partners in advancing opportunity, equity, and economic vitality - building on the college's proud history and leading it boldly into the future.
This servant leader will bring an empowering leadership style that inspires collaboration and transparency, while advancing academic excellence, workforce innovation, and equity. The president reports directly to the Minnesota State chancellor.
The People
Faculty and staff on both campuses share a strong sense of pride and purpose. Their deep commitment to student success fosters a collaborative, caring and productive learning environment. Each campus - Red Wing and Winona - serves unique communities and industries. The president must ensure equitable attention to their distinct needs, align resources appropriately, and maintain a visible, authentic presence in both communities.

The Students
The college offers exceptional programs across a wide range of career and technical programs and the liberal arts. These programs are led by experienced faculty who engage students holistically - addressing barriers to success and cultivating confidence, skill, and purpose. The next president will engage nontraditional, underrepresented, and underserved populations which is central to the college's mission of serving students. Building on strong K-12, higher education, and workforce collaborations is critical to developing clear educational pathways and supporting regional talent pipelines.
The Community
The college plays a vital role in advancing the region's economic and development strategies. Through strong relationships with business and industry in both the Red Wing and Winona communities, the college is a trusted partner in addressing workforce needs and supporting innovation. The region's diversified industries demand responsive and innovative training programs. The next president will continue to strengthen ties with business and industry to expand work-based learning and launch new programs in emerging fields. Nestled amid scenic bluffs and thriving arts and cultural community, the college benefits from the generosity of local donors. Philanthropic support has fueled transformational programs such as the College Opportunity Program and the Red Wing College Promise, opening doors for students who might not otherwise have had access to higher education.

A collaborative and visionary leader, capable of inspiring confidence and aligning diverse stakeholders to grow and sustain the mission of Minnesota State College Southeast
