Job Description
As the first and one of only two public honors colleges in the country, St. Mary's College of Maryland has made it its mission to put every student in charge of their journey forward. We do that through an initiative we call LEAD. LEAD stands for Learning Through Experiential and Applied Discovery - an all-encompassing, integrative pathway that will help prepare students for whatever their next step is—research, graduate school, or the workforce. LEAD blends together a thoughtful and purposeful academic experience with professional skill development, weaving credit-bearing courses and hands-on opportunities right into their chosen degree - all managed through our Career Development & Professional Pathways division.
As Executive Director, Greb provides strategic leadership for these programs - spanning career advisement, job search skills, acquisition, internship opportunities, employer engagement, recruiting activities, core curriculum development and implementation, and more. This requires active and innovative outreach to alumni, employers, and members of SMCM and external communities - and engagement of these constituents in the mission and work of the center. This position is responsible for deepening existing and creating new relationships with internal stakeholders across campus to expand the impact of the office's efforts on behalf of students. This oversight includes, but is not limited to, professional skills development as part of the general education curriculum and career services focused on areas such as employer relations, assisting students with internships and externships, and graduate placement into skill-based work. As Executive Director, she also serves an important external role by building creative and productive alliances with a wide range of external partners, including alumni, employers, foundations, and other organizations.
