Maintaining professional relationships and collaborations with an array of offices and colleagues is essential for meeting the College’s and this position’s goals.

As an executive team member, the Associate/Assistant Dean for Inclusive Excellence has oversight of the College’s DEI Initiatives, as well as programs that provide student support services at the college-level with a focus on underserved student populations.
