Nancy Thompson Learning Commons (NTLC)

Associate Director of The Writing Center

Under the supervision of the Director of Learning Support Services, the Associate Director of the Writing Center (Associate Director 3) manages the operations and activities of the Writing Center. The Associate Director works with the Director of Learning Support Services and Executive Director of the Nancy Thompson Learning Commons to direct, implement and innovate Writing Center initiatives. The Associate Director will work closely with the Director of Learning Support Services and other Learning Commons’ colleagues to assess and address writing and research needs throughout the University. The Associate Director will develop data-informed programming based on data best practices, to meet the needs of NTLC in its ongoing transformation through dynamic changes in all aspects of Learning Support Services (LSS) and the connectivity to research and scholarly works. The Associate Director will design learning experiences that help students from a diverse range of backgrounds, including first-generation college students and adult learners, become critical and ethical writers and researchers. The incumbent will help manage writing tutors, deliver writing workshops, and collaborate closely with librarians to create a wholistic Writing Center. The Associate Director will implement training and oversight of an increasingly networked, interactive and collaborative environment in which students are provided support anytime and anywhere, not just remediation or skill-set development. The Associate Director will work to meet the needs of the Kean University community and uphold the NTLC mission that ensures equity, access and academic excellence through data-driven decision-making and practice. These include changes in how student learning is acquired, delivered, consumed, shared and reconstituted among Kean University students, faculty and staff for educational, research and professional development purposes.

The Associate Director directs day-to-day activities for the Writing Center; assists in the development of training materials and procedures; collaborates with other NTLC personnel; and completes related tasks as requested or assigned. The Associate Director manages training for and the evaluation of assigned personnel, including the use of data-driven assessment and hiring.

This position requires a flexible schedule, including evening and weekend hours. Work schedule is assigned according to shifts/rotations to cover 24/7 facility and service operations that may vary by academic and calendar year.

Operations management includes the Kean USA campus in Union, New Jersey, as well as other programs at Kean Ocean and Kean Skylands, and working collaboratively with our additional location Wenzhou-Kean University, in China. This position requires occasional travel to and assignments of work at other locations.

Qualifications: Master’s degree in English, Writing, Education or a related field from an accredited college and two years of professional experience in an educational and/or learning commons setting with advanced understanding of digital and face-to-face delivery of services and best practices to support students and student engagement is required. Preferred qualifications include: a Ph.D. in English, Writing, Education or a related field; specialty in Education, Instructional Design or student learning support pedagogy; and prior experience in the delivery and/or direction of writing. Candidate must have an understanding of the importance of technology in student learning support; working knowledge of software and training program capabilities; and experience with online learning management systems and social media. Excellent oral and written communication skills are essential.
