The Division of Student Affairs will hold open forums for candidate finalists for the executive director of well-being and recreation position September 17 and September 24. Dawn Pote, our current executive director of well-being and recreation, will be retiring at the end of the year.
The Executive Director provides visionary leadership to division-wide well-being and recreation efforts, including the supervision of Campus Recreation, Health Promotion and Wellness, Student Counseling Services, Student Health Services, and Redbird Esports; leads comprehensive strategic planning, goal setting, and assessment initiatives; oversees the short- and long-term financial model supporting programs, services, facilities, and operations; and provides leadership and visibility for well-being and recreation as a campus priority in collaboration with internal and external partners.
Each candidate will have an opportunity to present on a topic which will then be followed by a Q&A session. The presentation is open to the campus community and will be from 1:15-2 p.m.
Both sessions will be held in the Bone Student Center. The session on September 17 will be in the Circus Room and the session on September 24 will be in Old Main.
