Reporting to the university’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the dean will play a leadership role in activating the college’s presence and engagement across Northeastern’s global network of campuses.

The dean will advance the distinctiveness, reputation, and impact of the college and the university and will be responsible for:

• Guiding the college’s academic direction and integrity
• Overseeing the recruitment and development of faculty and staff employees and supporting them in their work
• Continuing the college’s innovation in curriculum, pedagogy, and programs
• Generating resources to advance its mission
• Fostering a sense of belonging within and beyond the college
• Directing its fiscal and operational activities

 

The College of Arts, Media and Design has established itself as a vibrant community of creators, communicators, designers, and scholars working together to harness data and emerging technologies to advance human potential and solve the challenges of the future. Housed in a remarkably innovative university, CAMD is well placed to advance the leading edge in how creative endeavors and emerging technologies such as AI inter-relate.

In its education, research, creative, and community impact, CAMD’s faculty aim to transform the academic and research landscape of its disciplines through interdisciplinary collaborations, based on four foundational pillars: Design for Experience; Communication for the Future; Creativity for Innovation; and Technology and New Media.

CAMD leverages Northeastern’s distinctive strengths, attributes, and energy. The university’s unique value proposition is grounded in several key tenets: an experiential education that prepares graduates to thrive in a technology-driven world; a global network of campuses and partners for students and faculty to leverage for learning and research; a deep investment in lifelong and experiential learning; pedagogical innovation; and a highly collaborative, partner-fueled research enterprise focused on high-impact solutions.
