LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY
Appleton, Wisconsin
Associate Director of Alumni and Constituency Engagement—Admissions Volunteer Management
Lawrence University seeks a smart, energetic, and innovative go-getter to thrive as our first
professional staff member dedicated to managing the alumni and parent volunteers who raise
Lawrence’s visibility through college fairs, interviews, and receptions as well as other initiatives
that s/he will have a hand in developing.
Reporting to the Director of Alumni and Constituency Engagement, collaborating with other ACE
colleagues, and working very closely with the Director of Admissions and admissions staff (all of
whom share a building on campus), the associate director will be charged with identifying,
inspiring, training, and managing Lawrence alumni and parents who dedicate their time and talent
to helping Lawrence recruit and enroll students who are well-matched for the Lawrence
experience.
The associate director will also deploy her/his talents by: recruiting and managing volunteers for a
Reunion planning committee; working closely with the Lawrence University Alumni Association
Board of Directors; reading applications as an admission committee member; and handling other
duties as assigned (you knew that was coming), which will include being able to fold table
banners with panache at college fairs that s/he will attend as part of the national travel that
accompanies this position. Read the official job description here.
The associate director will join a team filled with people who embrace the importance of care,
hustle, ethics, and humor in accomplishing the goals of volunteer management and college
admission with class. The successful candidate will embody this mindset.
Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree or beyond, a healthy understanding of the value of the
liberal arts and sciences—especially Lawrence’s unique position in that realm—and a
commitment to serving others with class and dignity. (Don’t forget the ubiquitous requirement for
a valid driver’s license and the ability to carry heavy things.) Preferred candidates will have
experience in college admission, volunteer management, or—even better—both.
Lawrence University, a national leader in individualized education, is home to one of the country’s
most internationally diverse student populations, with 1,500 undergraduates from nearly every
state and more than 50 countries. Lawrence University is a college of liberal arts and sciences
and a world-class conservatory of music, both offering a friendly, challenging and personcentered academic, residential and social environment. Nestled along the bluffs of the Fox River,
Lawrence is adjacent to Appleton, Wisconsin (pop. 73,000; metro pop. 250,000), the cultural
center of Northeast Wisconsin, just 90 miles north of Milwaukee.
The preferred start for this full-time, 12-month, salaried position is September 2014. Credential
review commences immediately, and will continue until the best fit is found by both the ideal
candidate and Lawrence University. Please submit your letter of interest and credentials to:
