Since 2019, the Tartan Scholars program has worked to meet the unique needs of high-achieving undergraduate student leaders from limited resource backgrounds through a rich network of academic, social and financial support, which includes early and direct access to CMU leadership, mentorship and coaching opportunities, community building experiences, and more. The program is supported by a transformative gift from the Posner Foundation that established a permanent endowment to provide a comprehensive four-year student success journey for Tartan Scholars.

Rather than acting as an isolated institutional planner, the Director functions as an active coordinator and executor who collaborates with campus stakeholders to implement the program's infrastructure, engages closely with the scholars, and champions a community experience where students can holistically thrive. The Director utilizes data-informed decision-making and equity-minded practices to address opportunity gaps, elevate student voices, and foster a profound sense of community and belonging among academically gifted students who have experienced resource disparities prior to enrollment.

This is an excellent opportunity for an educational professional who thrives in an interesting, fast-paced, and challenging work environment.
