The Vice President for Student Affairs will provide strategic, visionary, and operational leadership that promotes student support and success, shape a culture of engagement and belonging, and create opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom in co- or extracurricular settings.
The Vice President for Inclusive Engagement will establish and implement a strategic framework for engaging faculty, staff, and students in fostering and affirming a campus culture of inclusion, belonging, and listening.
