The Women’s Center is hiring for three positions: two assistant directors and one advocacy coordinator. Each assistant director – one for programming and one for prevention – will build upon signature programs/initiatives and bring their unique experiences, skills, and knowledge to leading efforts in new directions. The advocacy coordinator provides support services, facilitates trainings to allied professionals, and assists with Women’s Center outreach and education efforts related to power-based and gender-based violence.

The Women’s Center is in a transformational period in our 28-year history and seeks individuals who are creative, forward-thinking, and team-oriented to join our team. The Women's Center reports to the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, and these three positions are integral members of a staff dedicated to advancing the center's mission and re-imagining the work we do to support all faculty, staff and students at the university.
