5. POSITION AVAILABLE

Associate Provost for Diversity and Global Learning

Westminster College invites applications for the key leadership
position of Associate Provost for Diversity and Global Learning. We
define Diversity and Global Learning as two distinctive priorities in
the strategic plans of the College, and seek applicants with expertise
in both areas. Following a decade of significant growth in our
commitment to Diversity and Global Learning, we seek applicants with a
record of demonstrated accomplishment to provide leadership as we set
new goals and higher standards of excellence.

Applicants should demonstrate success in advocating on behalf of
groups historically underrepresented in higher education (such as
people of color, LGBT people, people with disabilities,
first-generation college students, and others), as well as promoting
internationalization of the College (including international students,
study abroad, faculty exchanges, and international partnerships).
Westminster College acknowledges that there is often significant
overlap among these groups and priorities, and also strategic
importance in defining them each separately.

Westminster College's commitment to diversity and global learning is
revealed in its core values, mission and vision statements, and
learning goals. We seek candidates with proven skills relevant to
accomplishing these objectives:

• Enrich and Broaden the Curriculum and Co-Curriculum to Include
International and Domestic Diversity Perspectives and Experiences
• Increase the Recruitment and Retention of International and
Historically Under-represented Students, Faculty, and Staff
• Provide Faculty and Staff Professional Development Opportunities
Related to Diversity and Global Consciousness

This position reports directly to the Provost and carries faculty
rank. Direct reports include the Director of Diversity Student Affairs
and the Director of Student International Services. The Associate
Provost will collaborate with two Faculty Fellows (one focused on
diversity and one focused on internationalization/global learning). In
addition, the Associate Provost will work closely with and be an
active member of the Diversity Council, the International Council, the
extended Dean's Council, and other related constituencies of the
College. This position includes the possibility of limited teaching
each year.

The successful candidate will possess an earned Ph.D. and minimum of
five years of full-time, professional experience in higher education,
administrative skills, successful curriculum development experience,
the ability to develop community, national and international
partnerships, knowledge of best practices for diversity and global
learning in higher education, and an understanding of how higher
education can flourish in an institution that values the liberal arts
and sciences, professional education, and graduate studies.

Application Instructions: Please complete the short application
through the online job board and submit a letter of application that
relates one's experiences to the requirements of this position,
comprehensive CV, and the names/contact information of five
professional references. ( https://jobs.westminstercollege.edu/) First
review of applications will begin on January 7, 2013.
