  • Professional and Community Engagement 
    • Work in conjunction with the Stiller Dean, Institutional Advancement, Career Collaborative and Alumni Relations to speak at community events, nurture relationships with key stakeholders, and assist in developing internship and employment possibilities  

The successful candidate will also help build intercultural understanding and demonstrate multicultural perspectives that can foster a diverse and inclusive community both inside and outside of the classroom.
