We encourage applications from those whose experience has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion, who have been historically marginalized and currently underrepresented in higher education, who may have taken time off for family reasons, or who have built transferrable skillsets.

We provide strategic guidance, consultative support, and transactional assistance, as well as create tools and resources for all stages of recruitment and hiring.

In 2024-2025, our most important strategic objectives are improving our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion and implementing compensation and attraction strategies to respond to the needs of our workforce. If you want to make a difference during a time of organizational change, this might be the opportunity for you.
