Current Open Position Postings:
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) seeks a strategic, people-focused, and experienced student affairs leader to serve as its inaugural Assistant Vice President (AVP) for Student Affairs Facility Operations, Auxiliary, and Business Services.
Committed to inclusive excellence in practice, UMBC is proud to be one of the nation’s fastest-growing and most diverse public top-tier universities. The University’s vibrant campus is regarded as a new model for American higher education – a place where talented students, faculty, and staff thrive in a culture that embraces innovative ideas.
This is an exciting and transformational time at UMBC under the leadership of President Sheares Ashby; there is a strong understanding and appreciation for the significant role student affairs plays in student success, student retention, and providing a holistic student experience. The search for this senior leadership position is happening concurrently while the Division of Student Affairs is undergoing an organizational restructure, which offers new leaders an opportunity to reimagine how student affairs and academic affairs partner to provide an integrated student experience. Young and dynamic, UMBC is small enough to provide personal attention to its students yet large enough to offer state-of-the-art facilities and services that support a large population of residential students. Home to almost 14,000 students with roughly 4,000 residential students, the Division of Student Affairs supports a vibrant, robust, and actively engaged student community.
The inaugural AVP will have an immense opportunity to assess, build, and envision a future that enhances both the campus community and visitor experience. It involves working with campus constituents to provide exceptional services, and ensures optimal stewardship and long-term improvement of Student Affairs resources, including housing and meeting/event space within the Commons and throughout the Student Affairs portfolio of spaces. This role employs auxiliary and University space resources to advance an inclusive campus community and generate non-tuition revenue to reinvest in capital improvements. The AVP partners closely with Academic Affairs and Facility Services to maximize the effective use of spaces for academic, co-curricular, and conference services use. UMBC seeks a leader who will provide strategic and imaginative leadership, striving to create a unified vision for the division and its partners based on the needs of the university. The AVP will be a savvy manager, guiding operational and fiscal resources with pragmatic ingenuity; an intellectually curious and collaborative colleague who will join the vice president for student affairs senior leadership team; and a creative leader who is ready to imagine and execute a vision for the future of student affairs and UMBC.
