The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) invites inquiries, applications, and nominations for the position of Chief Diversity Officer (CDO). UNCW seeks a strategic leader, collaborative campus partner, and proven administrator with an innovative and resilient spirit, as well as a track record of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to serve as its Chief Diversity Officer (CDO). Reporting directly to the Chancellor, serving on the University's leadership team, and overseeing the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the CDO will be a highly influential leader with the ability to empower others to collectively deepen UNCW's ongoing efforts to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community for all faculty, staff, and students. The CDO will lead a university-wide effort to evaluate existing programs, policies, and practices currently in effect, making recommendations leading to a more cohesive operation.

To that end, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion provides guidance and resources to students, faculty, and staff about creating, fostering, and maintaining community— community that acknowledges and embraces diverse backgrounds and experiences and affirms the dignity of every individual. The Office's primary focus is underrepresented communities, those based on ability, age, citizenship, ethnicity, gender identity, national origin, race, sex, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.
