The Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE) has launched a search for a new Executive Director (ED) for the Center for Career Discovery and Development (C2D2). The search committee will be chaired by Caroline Wood, Executive Director of Corporate Relations, and the full search committee membership is listed below. The Career Leadership Collective, a consulting and search firm specializing in higher education career services, will oversee the search. The complete job description and information for interested parties, including information on how to nominate potential candidates, is now available on the Career Collective’s website.

The Executive Director will serve as the Institute’s senior leader in overseeing and implementing the transformation of career services, cooperative education, and professional development activities, primarily focused on undergraduate students. The new leader’s vision will build upon the work completed by recent internal and external analyses and consulting reports, which have resulted in the opportunity to reimagine the strategy, plan, and alignment of the office staffing structure and operational priorities. While the results of these efforts have not yet been fully finalized, this may also include the renaming and rebranding of the center to reflect the new vision. All of this will enable C2D2 to transform the undergraduate career development experience on campus.
