As our programs host a diverse population, the proven ability to work effectively in a multicultural environment is highly regarded.

Duties and Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will necessitate your ability to teach in multiple areas across several disciplines over time, so you will be required to learn new topics, develop new teaching approaches, and potentially even create new course materials to augment existing or create brand new courses. Bringing industry expertise into the classroom from your own personal experience or by inviting guest speakers from your network is also routinely required. Teaching responsibilities may include undergraduate and graduate courses in both on-ground and online environments. Advising/mentoring of students is expected with a minimum of 5 hours/week of mandatory office hours, but is also encouraged through other engagement opportunities such as supporting clubs, attending sports and social gatherings, and participating in open house events. Additional service to the college community is expected through serving on department, school or college committees. Additionally, you will be required to seek out and engage in professional development activities in order to remain current and relevant.
