The Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ( JDEI) Faculty Fellowship Program affirms the institutional goals of social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. The fellowship program seeks to promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty at Lane Community College. The program does this by advancing the careers of individuals from groups in U.S. society that have been historically underrepresented in the academic profession. Among the College's goals are increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of its faculty and broadening access to the college-teaching profession to qualified minority scholars. Candidates may also meet the goals of the JDEI program by demonstrating a strong commitment to working with diverse student populations or advancing equity and inclusion through their teaching, research, or service. To help achieve these goals, Lane Community College sponsors an annual Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Fellowship program designed to bring two faculty members to the College each year.

The program specifically aims to promote and support the careers of under-represented faculty. The one-year program provides reassignment of one course for one term to ensure fellowship participants have the opportunity to fully engage in their professional development as teachers and scholars and to collaborate with colleagues. Faculty fellows will teach classes in their fields of expertise and engage fully in the life of the College. They will receive both mentorship and opportunities to connect and collaborate with colleagues not only in their own discipline, but also with faculty and administrators across the College.

The Mental Health and Wellness Center is seeking to hire a licensed mental health counselor. The Center is committed to increasing the diversity and equity of the college community in multiple forms.

This position will work 174.5 days out of a full academic year (4 terms, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) with a schedule of work determined by the division and college.
