The Academic Department Manager resolves complex issues, exercising judgment within defined university and College procedures and practices to determine an appropriate course of action based on the needs of the program. The position will often consult with various campus offices, including the Office of the Registrar, Accounts Payable, Human Resources, Bon Appetit, Facilities, and Campus Safety and must build good relationships via written and oral communications.

A diverse and inclusive community is a key factor to our success in our mission to educate in the Jesuit tradition.
