Job description

The McCoy College of Business invites applications for the Director of the McCoy College Student Success Center — a senior leadership position reporting directly to the Dean. In partnership with the Dean, college leadership, faculty, and university student success leaders, the Director will translate the College’s strategic vision into a student success plan for the College, and execute it with rigor, authenticity, and sustained institutional commitment.

Now entering its fourth year, the McCoy College Student Success Center reaches 87% of McCoy College undergraduates, generating over 87,000 student engagements, annually. Built around the McCoy Ready framework and tracked through the Suitable platform, the Center serves more than 6,700 business students, with documented gains in retention, graduation rates, and career placement based on Center assessment data.

McCoy College has established a clear strategic direction for the Center’s next phase — expanding programming and integrated academic initiatives that prepare students across the three domains of academic, professional, and personal growth and success. The incoming Director will develop a rigorous and executable action plan, and lead the Center — its staff, its faculty partnerships, its programs, and its institutional relationships — toward the outcomes the vision defines. The goal is to elevate the Center to a level of demonstrated impact and national recognition that positions it for achieving donor named-center status.

This position reports directly to the Dean of McCoy College of Business, with responsibility for staff and program development and budget oversight, and maintains a close, collaborative working relationship with the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. The Director leads the Center’s professional staff, with staffing expected to expand as the Center’s next phase takes shape. It calls for someone who leads with authenticity, engages faculty as genuine partners in student development and shared academic initiatives, and builds trust across a complex institution.
