Reporting to the Dean of Fordham College of Liberal Studies, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will be responsible for helping to reorganize the college among the three campuses, and initiating streamlining and standardization of procedures among the campuses in areas such as transfer credit, internship credits, on-line course opportunities, and advising. Additionally, you will work closely with the Westchester assistant dean and advise students at the Westchester campus. You will help coordinate course offerings at all three campuses, and, in coordination with fellow associate deans, oversee hiring of part-time faculty. You will also participate in the recruiting and admissions strategy and process.
