Reporting to the Vice President are the Associate Vice President (Controller), and the Directors of Human Resources, Physical Plant, Auxiliary Services, and Campus Police.

A private liberal arts college for women with a campus of 3,250 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in central Virginia, Sweet Briar has been recognized for its excellent academic programs, its vibrant co-curriculum, the faculty's dedication to the 649 on campus students, as well as the breathtaking beauty of its campus.  The student to faculty ratio is an unusually favorable 8:1, and 90 percent of classes enroll fewer than 20 students.  Sweet Briar sponsors highly regarded programs in France and Spain that enroll an additional 125 students. Sweet Briar was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 1950. In 2004 Sweet Briar reaffirmed its commitment to remain a college for women. 

In 2006, Sweet Briar completed a successful fundraising campaign, Our Campaign for Her World, raising just shy of $111 million ($9 million over goal).  Eighty-seven percent of alumnae and faculty and all directors contributed.  The college has an operating budget of approximately $42 million, an endowment of $82 million as of June 30, 2010, and debt of $42.2 million of which $11.1 million has funds held in trust by bond indenture.

Sweet Briar’s strengths also present challenges.  Its small size fosters community but limits economies of scale.  The extraordinary campus and 21 historic buildings require continuous maintenance.  Its rural location discourages some future students and faculty while encouraging others. Diversity remains a goal and a challenge.

The next vice president for finance and administration will be a person of integrity with the values, knowledge, and capability, to work with a heterogeneous team and with the financial, management, and interpersonal experience and skills to lead a professional, service-oriented staff. S/he will be a financial professional with significant managerial experience, preferably in higher education. S/he will possess a bachelor’s degree, with an MBA or CPA preferred. The vice president will be able to analyze complex financial and organizational issues and to articulate them to all members of the College community.
