SUMMARY:

The primary outcome and urgent focus of this position is to add new student enrollment to the campus and assist others to meet their new student enrollment goals. These enrollment targets are set each year in the University budgeting process. Success in this role is defined by meeting or exceeding campus new student enrollment in each quarter.

With limited supervision, the Director of University Partnerships and Development (DUPD) markets the campus and program offerings to businesses, organizations and community partners in a specified territory to generate interest among stakeholders resulting in community relationships, awareness, agreements and prospective students. This individual is responsible for industry knowledge related to degrees offered at the campus and regularly conducts local market research to assess employer need. In addition, the DUPD is responsible for managing a calendar of recruitment activities and events, meeting monthly and annual plans for outreach activities and the admissions funnel resulting in meeting set goals for new students. The DUPD must conduct activities in accordance with state, federal, accreditation, regulatory, and South University policies, consistent with the highest ethical standards.

The Director of University Partnerships and Development can expect regular travel within designated region.

This individual must be flexible with extended hours and days of work, when necessary, to meet the needs of partners and the campus. This position requires the individual to have reliable transportation and proof of auto insurance.

The incumbent must assure that the South University philosophy: Quality services to students; development, growth, involvement, and recognition of employees; sound economic principles; and environment which is conducive to innovation, positive thinking and expansion - is considered in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of this position.
