Job no: 240424-LI
Work type: Onsite, Staff-Full Time
Department: L&S/ADM-STU ACAD AFF/STU AF-GN
Location: Madison
Categories: Management/Supervisory, Academic Advising, Student Services/Support, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
Position Summary:
The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) in the College or Letters & Science (https://cae.ls.wisc.edu/) provides an enriching, inclusive community and engaging academic support for ~400 students admitted to the CAE program, as well as additional opt-in students. CAE's focus is on supporting students who have been historically underrepresented in higher education, including Black, LatinX, Native Nations, Southeast-Asian, first-generation and low-income students.
CAE engages students through proactive academic advising, peer tutoring programs, social/wellness events, mentoring and access to High Impact Practice Programs, starting with the Summer Collegiate Experience (SCE) ( https://cae.ls.wisc.edu/summer-collegiate-experience/ ). CAE collaborates closely with L&S SuccessWorks career services through on-site services, internships, career communities and graduate school preparation. CAE also collaborates closely with department staff to provide on-site Academic Deans' Services.
The College of Letters & Science is prioritizing fundraising to support: increased CAE student scholarships, with the goal of meeting all unmet student need; expanding the capacity of CAE by growing participation in programs and services while preserving quality; growing the STEM Runway program to increase representation in L&S STEM majors. This position will play a critical role in developing and supporting CAE programs as well as contributing to College fundraising and stewardship efforts.
The Assistant Dean & Director leads the CAE team, services and programming through day-to-day supervision and management while advocating for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students and equitable processes and systems. This position is supervised by the Associate Dean of Student Academic Affairs (SAA), the College-wide department that houses CAE. SAA enhances the Wisconsin Experience of L&S students by providing services and programs designed to support academic success including academic advising, High Impact Practice Programs, scholarships, curricular information and curricular policy problem-resolution. L&S is the largest college at UW-Madison, promoting liberal arts education and serving around half of UW-Madison undergraduates.
