A member of the Associate Provost & Dean of Students leadership team, the Associate Dean of Students is a strategic partner within the Division of Student Affairs and is responsible for coordinating our efforts to promulgate a sense of belonging throughout a diverse, residential learning environment. The staff member will articulate and execute a vision for engaging various populations of students, parents and families.

The Associate Dean will play a key role in the ongoing design of our visionary strategic plan, BU2030, by imaging a community, big yet small, which seeks to create an inclusive academic community where students feel seen, heard and validated. This includes launching co-curricular programs and services that reflect the intersectional nature of identity and designing opportunities to build communities within and across these identity groups where they can explore their uniqueness and shared humanity, and overseeing the creation of the next chapter in the evolution of the HTC.
As a thought partner for the Dean, the Associate Dean will contribute to the overall vision and execution of our signature Orientation program for incoming first-year students and parents, and will work in tandem with the Directors of the respective departments to construct a world-class experience that is centered on belonging and engagement. With an understanding of the rhythm of the academic year, the Associate Dean will inspire and catalyze the ongoing engagement of parents and families throughout the academic journey of their student. Additionally, the Associate Dean will work in tandem with the Deans leadership team to advance the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across the Division of Student Affairs. This includes chairing committees, conducting assessments and developing initiatives that capitalize on the natural synergies within the Division.
