[FCLCA] FSU Assistant/Associate Dean Posting for Undergraduate Studies

[Sara Hamon]

Hello, FCLCA friends!  I have some exciting news to share. Effective on Friday, I will be moving to the Office of the Provost at FSU to work on accreditation and other special projects. My position is now posted on FSU’s HR website, and they hope to fill it ASAP this academic year. See details below and share with anyone who has expertise in academic support services. Terminal degree (or just about there) is going to be expected given the nature of this role working with faculty across campus. It is a great job with the best colleagues you can imagine.

Thanks – so glad to see this FCLCA organization is going strong!

The university's four-year graduation rates are among the top in the nation for public universities, and disparities in graduation rates among Florida State’s diverse student body have been virtually eliminated. The university’s work in elevating undergraduate education has catalyzed its rising national profile, a top 20 public university ranking, and growth to nearly 80,000 first-year student applications for admission.

The Assistant Dean will oversee a variety of academic support services and success initiatives in the Division of Undergraduate Studies, as well as collaborate with numerous campus partners to enhance the student support and engagement we offer at Florida State University (FSU).
