Job Description
The Department of Brock Transformative Learning Programs in the division of Academic Affairs is seeking an Assistant Director (GA050).
The Brock Transformative Learning Programs office manages a growing suite of programs for the campus. The first and most visible program is known as the Brock Experiences for Transformative Learning. Established in 2016 by the largest gift in Longwood's history, the Brock Experiences are a growing group of immersive, citizenship-focused courses at sites around the United States. Exploring the important issues of our time, new courses are announced and, after a development period, are added to the slate of signature experiences available to students on a rotating basis. In 2025, the office added the Brock Leaders living-learning community to its suite of programs. First-year students selected to be a part of the Brock Leaders share a common suite of courses, experiences designed to aid in their transition to campus, and a living community. In return for participation in the program, Brock Leaders may enroll in a Brock Experience at no cost. Future areas of development for the office include citizenship initiatives, campus-wide speaker series, and opportunities for engagement with alumni.
The Assistant Director will take a primary role in working with students related to Brock programs. They will be instrumental in helping students navigate the application and enrollment process for Brock Experiences by planning and hosting recruitment events, advising students on course options, and managing the scholarship application process. The AD will also assist with the Brock Leaders community by arranging for student success workshops, teaching a section of CTZN 110 (as credentials allow), participating in the planning of the Citizen Leader retreat, and advising students. The Assistant Director will support the office with its existing programs and participate in the creation of new ones. For the Brock Experiences, the AD will assist with the logistics of professional development opportunities for faculty and staff teams. The AD will be responsible for publicity and marketing of the department including through social media, public presentations, and event staffing.
