"Director of Lyceum Programming"

Wingate University invites applications for a part-time position for the Director of Lyceum Programming at Wingate University. As described by our academic catalog, the Lyceum Program: "…Provide[s] students the opportunity to discover culture and history, to engage in ethical conversations on current topics, to better understand themselves and the world around them, and to generally experience a broader world and to expand their thinking. These free events, offered both Fall and Spring semesters, take various forms, including lectures, panel discussions, plays, musical performances, research presentations, and skills development workshops, among others. Lyceums connect to a student’s classroom learning experience, amplify it, and expand it."

The lyceum director plays a crucial role in helping to develop and support programming, supervise student workers, known as “lyceum ambassadors,” help with reserving spaces for performances and lectures, and handle paperwork (such as accommodations and payment) for lyceum performers and lecturers.

The ideal candidate will be organized, have experience working in higher education, and be open to collaboration with faculty and staff.

While this position will require on-campus work, there is a possibility for remote and/or hybrid work for the right candidate.
