St. Norbert College is located in De Pere, Wisconsin, just outside of Green Bay. It is a residential campus with 2,230 undergraduate students. Founded in 1898 by the Norbertine order of priests, the College embraces the Norbertine vision of community in an educational environment that is intellectually, spiritually, and personally challenging.

St. Norbert College offers a traditional residential education experience, in a beautiful campus setting along the Fox River. De Pere is a vibrant community, and it is located near the gateway to Door County. The College is noted for its intense commitment to educating the whole person; its radical hospitality; preparing each person for leadership and service of the common good; supporting its deep sense of community; and maintaining the cohesive design and beauty of its campus. The College has been cited by the Templeton Fund for building character in its students and the American Council of Education for exemplary international programs.
In this same Norbertine spirit, the College is also committed to furthering a campus environment that is equitable for all, inclusive of all, and diverse in all its constituencies.
Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, advising the President on diversity and equity matters; leading the campus’ standing Committee on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; overseeing diversity and equity initiatives in the Strategic Plan; collaborating with all campus areas to promote diversity in our recruitment and retention of faculty, staff and students; engaging various college and community groups to initiate, develop, nurture and sustain relationships to promote an inclusive campus; assisting Human Resources in developing and implementing training; and serving as our Title IX coordinator to ensure compliance with federal, state and campus regulations and requirements.

• A terminal degree (Ph.D, Ed.D, J.D., etc.) or equivalent.
• A minimum of three years of demonstrated leadership experience addressing institution-wide diversity initiatives within a higher education setting.
• In-depth knowledge of diversity issues in higher education (climate, curriculum, recruitment and retention, cultural competence, student, faculty and staff development), organizational change, and laws and policies related to equity in the context of higher education.
• Experience working with diverse populations, including historically underrepresented groups.
• Demonstrated success at collaborating with different campus constituencies to build consensus and meet inclusive excellence goals.
• Demonstrated ability to successfully design and deliver diversity and cultural competence education and training programs in a higher education context.
