Position Purpose
The Power and Equity Specialist will spearhead the development of core programming integrated into the campus-wide Sexual Violence Prevention Project ( SVPP ), a four-year sequenced undergraduate curriculum to prevent sexual violence at Dartmouth. The Power and Equity Specialist will work as a part of a multidisciplinary team to collaboratively and creatively develop, coordinate, and implement evidence-based programs and interventions focused on behavior and culture change to increase students using their power in positive ways to increase equity and belonging in order to fulfill the mission of the Student Wellness Center. This is a two-year term position with a potential for renewal.
Description
Join the Sexual Violence Prevention Project and become a part of a team doing innovative, cutting-edge work in the field of sexual violence prevention. We are building a comprehensive, 4-year sexual violence prevention curriculum for all undergraduate students at Dartmouth, and want to do the unprecedented.
We are looking for a game-changer who will seize this opportunity to do something special. Our ideal candidate would combine powerful facilitation skills with a deep expertise in the areas of social justice, diversity & inclusion, power dynamics, equity, and belonging to create and deliver programming that students walk away from feeling empowered to make a difference.
We are located in the Student Wellness Center and staff well being is a core value of our work. Our office is human centered, highly supportive of self-care, and our philosophy is that we can’t increase the well being of our students without modeling those behaviors ourselves. A typical day in our office might include a walking meeting around Occom Pond, a colleague asking “How are you doing?” and really wanting to know, or having a moment of calm and creativity by filling in coloring books at staff meeting. Join the SVPP team and let’s make positive change.
