The successful candidate will demonstrate a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging, as well as strong leadership in program coordination and clinical care.

This is a temporary 9-month position. The successful candidate may be eligible to apply for a permanent role, which will be posted mid-year.

The Student Counseling Center has made a commitment to prioritize belonging and connection both among our staff and with colleagues across campus.
