• Assist the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs with review of grade submissions.

• Plan administrative details for Dean's Suite-sponsored activities such as part-time faculty orientation and advisory meetings.

• Serve as the College-wide coordinator for addressing room scheduling conflicts, ensuring appropriate prioritization of events, classes, and meetings.

• Serve as backup in responding to Dean's Suite space requests and reserving University spaces as needed.

• Assist the Dean's Executive Assistant with recruiting, scheduling, and supervising student employees.

• Support daily Dean's Suite operations, including supply management, mail handling, and maintenance of digital and physical organizational systems.

• Maintain strong familiarity with the Executive Assistant to the Dean's responsibilities and provide backup support as needed.

Records Management

• Maintain part-time faculty records, contact information, distribution lists, and related documentation.

• Maintain and post faculty hiring materials and charts.

• Oversee recordkeeping protocols for the Dean's Suite in accordance with University retention standards.

Technology and Data Coordination

• Assist the Chief of Staff with data collection and monitoring for accreditation and external reporting.

• Analyze course offerings and part-time faculty profiles to support academic planning.

• With the approval of the Chief of Staff, leverage new technologies to increase efficiency of operations and collaboration within and with the Dean's Suite.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES

May supervise student workers in the Dean's Suite.

Minimum Requirements

Knowledge normally acquired through a high school education with course work in word processing, typing, shorthand, and grammar; five to eight years of related and progressively more responsible or expansive work experience in maintaining account ledgers, word processing, editing, composing correspondence, taking dictation, spreadsheet, database, desktop publishing, and/or presentation software; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Interest in adopting new and forward-looking technologies and tools to increase efficiency and collaboration.
