The campus community is invited to meet finalists for the position of Interim Dean of the Division of Extended Studies. The schedule for each finalist will be available soon.
During their on-campus interviews, each finalist will present at scheduled in-person open forums which will last approximately 15 minutes followed by a 30 minute question-and-answer period. Live streaming of the presentation will also be offered, and a recording of the forum will be available after the presentation.
Position Overview
The mission of Extended Studies is to “extend higher education beyond traditional boundaries.” The scope of Extended Studies programming is extensive – with approximately 38% of the University’s credit-hours, and almost all of its noncredit activity. The interim dean position provides vision, leadership and strategic direction for the University’s credit and noncredit educational outreach efforts through the following programs: Boise State Online (including the units eCampus Center and Enrollment and Student Success), Community Educational Outreach, Concurrent Enrollment, Summer Sessions, Professional and Continuing Education, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and Boise State Public Radio. Extended Studies does not have direct ownership of academic programming, so to execute the Division’s mission, the dean must cultivate strong partnerships and relationships internal to Boise State and with external entities.
