The person in this role will work with the Undergraduate Faculty Director and Department Chair to support undergraduates through their degree program.

In addition, this faculty member will support the growth of the EDSO major, including meeting emerging needs, supporting student and staffing needs, fostering the expansion of program partnerships, and ensuring that the course offerings meet the degree requirements.

This role may also include directing or leading educational programs and/or initiatives within the department, and developing and/or working within educational and/or community partnerships. Collaboration with colleagues across the Department of Education and Gevirtz School of Education is expected and supported.
