The Office of Student Life has done some reorganizing and experienced a little staff turnover this summer, with the result that there are two professional staff openings. In my humble opinion, these are about the best jobs in the world (I've done one of them and been deeply involved with the other), and we're looking for outstanding candidates to seize these opportunities. Both positions require masters degrees and a year of experience, although the year of experience can be achieved through two years of half-time work in graduate school.

COORDINATOR FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION

Responsibilities: Reporting to the Assistant Director of Student Life for Civic Agency, the incumbent will be responsible for the design, implementation, and evaluation of a comprehensive and dynamic leadership program for students. Specific duties include: working collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff to offer institutes, retreats, speaker series, intentional curricular and co-curricular leadership offerings; coordinating leadership recognition programs; co-teaching the leadership class; and performing other duties as assigned.

For a full position description, please see: http://www.umbc.edu/studentlife/jobpostings/Coordinator_for_Leadership.pdf.

Requires a Master's degree and at least one year of student life job-related experience. Must have: knowledge of college student development principles; a demonstrated commitment to meeting the needs of diverse student populations and student organizations; and the ability to interact effectively with broad campus constituents and campus partners.

Excellent organizational and time management abilities; customer service skills; comfort with a high-paced, dynamic work environment; and a strong team player mentality required.

Salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.
