In addition, the Associate Director will advance ongoing opportunities for process and project improvements, such as automating paper-based systems, streamlining course proposal processes, and identifying new efficiencies in cross-campus collaborations that concern course offerings and related systems. In addition to working closely with the Office of the Registrar, the Associate Director will be a critical link and valued thought-partner on ODOC's behalf with the Office of Information Technology and the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.
