Los Medanos College is seeking candidates to apply for the position of Interim Director of Student Life & International Students Program (Program Manager).
Key functions of the department include LMCAS/Student Government, Student Clubs, Student Activities/Events, Leadership Programs, Basic Needs, International Students, and related functions.
We seek a colleague for this position who operates with a growth mindset, is highly student centered, and who demonstrates a deep commitment to equity and inclusion among students, staff, and faculty.
Applicants are advised that interviews are tentatively planned for July 3, 2024. Only internal employees may apply for this interim assignment.
Our Vision for Social Justice
The intention of social justice work is to strengthen humanity by understanding that every person deserves the benefits of fully participating in our society and institutions.
Academic researchers have illustrated that crucial social justice principles are a compilation of equality, equity, diversity, inclusion, engagement, environmental sustainability and human rights. These complex principles are challenging to operationalize in higher education; yet, we are steadfast in our diligence to forge ahead to advance this vital mission.
Community colleges are uniquely positioned to lead higher education in the work of social justice. Many of our students come from historically underserved and underrepresented backgrounds; students of color, students with recent immigrant histories, students from cycles of low income if not poverty, students from indigenous communities, and students from first-generation families.
The idea of promoting social mobility through education is unconditionally and uncompromisingly embraced by community colleges. This is an exciting role, and it comes with a heavy responsibility. Simply put, we need to create environments where our students achieve greater academic success, so much so that we close our persistent equity/opportunity gaps.
If you are committed to social and racial justice and if you are interested in joining a community dedicated to solving these inequities through education, please apply.
