Who We Are:
Swarthmore College launched a new institutional strategic plan, Swarthmore Forward, in January 2024 that deepens the College's commitment to creating a community that welcomes differences and prepares students for life in a multiracial, multicultural democracy. The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) was established to develop institutional strategy and vision with respect to these goals. Led by the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, who serves on the President's senior leadership team, the office collaborates with staff, faculty, and students to guide and monitor the implementation of strategic DEI priorities for the College, coordinate and align DEI efforts across the College, and foster an inclusive and welcoming campus environment. Swarthmore Forward outlines a vision for the present and future of the College in which "equity and inclusion are not just ideals, but lived experiences." The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion serves a key role in delivering on this vision. It is an exciting time to join us at Swarthmore!
The opportunity:
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Swarthmore College invites applications for an Administrative Coordinator II (AC) to provide senior-level support to the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (VPDEI).
