The AVP will report to the Vice President who is a member of the College's Senior Staff.

As a member of the OIDEI's leadership team, the AVP will possess a deep knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion matters and routinely represent the Office in meetings. As a part of their role, the AVP will serve as a connector between the various functions and individuals in the Office. Upon gaining an understanding of all unit operations and programs the AVP will be poised to engage in strategy development, assess impact of programs, oversee communications, and facilitate the integration of OIDEI's work which stands to positively impact the community. In addition, the AVP will facilitate budget development and oversight and map resources to existing programmatic needs and future endeavors.

Our expectation is that the successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, economic status, gender, disability status, gender expression, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. The ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with many different individuals, offices, and departments on campus is essential. In a cover letter, applicants should highlight their relevant experience and also describe how they will embrace the college's commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming community.

The new AVP will join a highly skilled, collaborative, and experienced team that provides key leadership for the College's efforts to build and support an inclusive community. In addition to having excellent organizational and communication skills, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to:
  • Manage projects from inception to completion.
  • Utilize data and information to assess constituents' needs on campus and develop and refine programs, initiatives, and promising models for inclusion.
  • Develop communications plans for internal and external constituents, including overseeing content development and placement.

  • Manage the Office's budget.
  • Cultivate and nurture strong and trusting relationships across identities and positionalities.
  • Serve as a liaison between the Office and the campus community..
