Dyson Director of Student Services Opportunity:

Cornell leaders are expected to foster a culture of belonging and a psychologically healthy work environment by being trustworthy; respecting all individuals; being flexible; supporting work/life balance as well as healthy boundaries; being open to new ideas, alternatives, and perspectives; speaking up and taking action if others are being excluded or treated inappropriately; and recognizing the contributions of others.

Reporting to the David J. Nolan Dean of the Charles H.

The Director leads collaboration and coordination of student programming in partnership with the Director of Undergraduate Studies and alongside other Dyson-based student-facing teams including career management and diversity & inclusion, as well as with the college admissions team and other college functions including alumni affairs & development, external relations, information technology, facilities and finance. The Director represents Dyson and is an active participant in university networks, working groups, and committees often convened by the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and teams such as New Student Programs and the Dean of Students office within Student and Campus Life.
