Overview
The Associate Dean (AD) for Diversity
and Inclusion serves as a key leader within the Office of
Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) and acts as a Deputy to the Assistant
Vice President (AVP) for Diversity, Belonging, and Well-Being. This
critical role offers the unique opportunity to work closely with
students, faculty, and senior leadership across the University to
support and amplify the institution’s diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The AD is responsible for collaborating
with ODI staff to develop curricula and implement training modules
that enhance students’ learning and build their capacity to engage
in meaningful dialogue on issues of diversity, inclusion,
belonging, well-being, and identity. This role involves organizing,
designing, delivering, and evaluating workshops, trainings, and
experiential learning opportunities, such as Intergroup Dialogue,
that focus on identity, social constructs, inclusion, and
engagement across differences.
The AD also serves as the lead and
organizer for the Dialogue and Difference in Action (DDA)
pre-orientation program, ensuring its continued success and impact.
Reporting directly to the AVP, the AD has a significant opportunity
to forge collaborative partnerships across the University community
and make a broad, lasting impact on DEI efforts. The AD also
supervises an administrative assistant, who provides
administrative, event, and logistical support to ODI.
This role is ideal for an experienced DEI
professional who thrives in dynamic, multi-stakeholder
environments, is passionate about fostering inclusive excellence in
higher education, and has strong communications skills.
