This will entail working with the deans, departments, and faculty to design and deliver a curriculum that is challenging and current; recruiting and admitting students; advising students; organizing extracurricular events; engaging in outreach (including with program alumni) and fundraising activities; and other aspects of program leadership. The successful candidate will be responsible for the delivery of the program's capstone course.
