Associate Director of International Programs, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY, USA. Deadline: 4 October 2024.
Vassar College seeks a full-time Associate Director in the Office of International Programs (OIP). By facilitating meaningful student and faculty engagement in learning opportunities outside the United States, the OIP contributes to Vassar’s mission of nurturing intellectual curiosity, creativity, respectful discourse and engaged citizenship from a global perspective.
The Associate Director will join an inclusive and experienced team that supports the College’s global engagement, a key aspect of Vassar’s liberal arts education. The core function of OIP is to steward student participation in education abroad. At Vassar, nearly 50% of students study abroad for a full semester or an academic year prior to graduation; additional students participate in short-term programs associated with on-campus classes or special programs.
The OIP partners with faculty to administer Vassar programs in London and Clifden, and consortium programs in Berlin, Bologna, Paris, and Madrid. OIP also manages Vassar’s exchange partnerships with institutions in Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Kyoto, Exeter, Toulouse, and Singapore. In addition to Vassar programs, the office manages a list of approximately 130 other approved programs that students may access. OIP also supports a number of additional global partnerships and initiatives.
