Position Description The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list (not a formal job description), but instead is provided to give potential applicants an idea of the major expectations for this position. The individual who is hired should be ready to participate fully on the Business program team and expect full support from the team. It is important that this individual be a good fit not only in qualifications and interests, but in interpersonal dynamics.

We take our mission statement very seriously. It guides everything from our personnel decisions to our curricula. Our approach is to work together as a team to provide an excellent educational experience that includes encouraging student growth in all aspects of life. Each member of the team contributes in different ways, depending on individual strengths, background and abilities.

Some classes are offered on an alternate year basis. The specific class mix may be adjusted based on skills and interests. ● The advisor role – providing academic, professional, spiritual and personal advice as appropriate – is a critical role for program faculty. Approximately 15-25 students are assigned as advisees to each faculty member.

Advisors provide assistance in selecting a major and emphasis, planning for the completion of graduation requirements on schedule, sharing ideas on appropriate internships and suggesting alternate actions in courses where the student is struggling. ● As teachers, faculty are responsible to plan courses that include the desired elements at the appropriate level of difficulty. As stated in the mission statement, the Business program intentionally chooses to mix theory and practice in the classroom as appropriate. In many cases, the best learning happens through actively doing something related to the topic. Sample syllabi and other guiding documents will be provided to assist in planning.

The program director, along with other faculty, is available for advice at any point along the way. A meeting with the program director to go over plans for the semester should take place no later than one week before classes begin. Course content will be largely predetermined the first time a course is taught, and after that there will be more latitude for changes in consultation with the Business program team.
