The Associate Dean will also oversee the undergraduate co- op program, study abroad, and other experiential learning opportunities that are crucial to the undergraduate academic experience at D'Amore-McKim. He/she will be responsible for setting undergraduate program strategy in conjunction with D'Amore-McKim senior leadership and faculty, and will be charged with building the staff, systems, structures, and culture necessary to implement this strategy successfully. Northeastern University is the world's recognized leader in cooperative education – the integration of classroom study with professional experience – and its undergraduate enterprise has never been stronger. The university continues to receive a record-breaking number of applications each year; the mean two-part SAT score of this year's freshman class is 1413; and students now have opportunities to work, study, and conduct research in 128 different countries. The D'Amore-McKim School of Business is a prominent contributor to the university's success. The school has more than 4,100 undergraduate students, and they are known to be ambitious and engaged. In 2014, more than 2,100 D'Amore-McKim undergraduates participated in a co-op experience, which highlights the value our students place on experiential education. D'Amore-McKim has also been recognized as a top 20 undergraduate program by Bloomberg Businessweek. Key responsibilities for the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs include managing undergraduate program curricula; overseeing student services, including advising, student organizations and events; administrating all international study programs; leading the school's renowned cooperative education program; and being an active member of the school's senior leadership team. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in leading a large, complex undergraduate program, preferably within a leading business school (experience in a business school with a co-op program is particularly valuable). He/she should have a passion for experiential learning, including co-op, study abroad, service learning, entrepreneurship, and other programs which facilitate hands-on student learning. Also important is the ability to multitask, build and leverage a strong team to manage unpredictable day-to-day occurrences, and communicate with a wide variety of stakeholders from undergraduate students to faculty to corporate partners. He/she should also have the ability and desire to lead change in a dynamic university environment that is in the midst of a significant transformation effort; an appreciation for the importance of embedding world-class thought leadership into curricula; an appreciation for the importance of fully leveraging educational technology; and the ability to work with key global corporate partners, alumni and faculty to ensure the rigor and relevance of our programs.
