Home departments of successful candidates will be determined based on areas of expertise and fit. The positions require participation in committee and student service activities, including development of curriculum and strategic development of the Sports CaM major.

Edelman CCCA’s goal is to empower people to be storytellers, artists, critical thinkers, and engaged citizens. The college serves nearly 1900 majors through eleven B.A.s, two B.F.A.s, and three M.A.s.
