The Director will be responsible for ensuring living-learning programs effectively bridge academic and student life and are grounded in our collective commitment to student well-being. These environments will be exemplary laboratories for students to learn.

Indicators of the position's success include measurable increases in the number of students engaged in LLPs (across all student demographics), evidence of LLPs impact on students well-being and success, and evidence of deep engagement with program directors and academic units. The director must be able to demonstrate longitudinal programmatic success and strong partnerships with academic programs leading living-learning programs.
