The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is a dynamic public research institution focused on engaged learning and innovative research that fuels both personal and lifelong student success.

Committed to regional and global impact, UMass Dartmouth offers more than 120 undergraduate and 42 graduate fields of study, with a reputation for excellence in fields such as engineering, business, marine sciences, humanities, and the visual and performing arts. Its close connections with the South Coast’s emerging Blue economy further amplify the University’s contributions to economic and social development.

The Opportunity

With 7,500 undergraduate and graduate students hailing from 49 states and 55 countries, over 50% of whom are first-generation college students, UMass Dartmouth has become a beacon for access, academic excellence, and economic mobility.

As more of UMass Dartmouth’s students choose to live on campus, the Assistant Dean and Director of Housing and Residential Education will play an integral role in strengthening campus culture and building an even more vibrant campus community that supports student growth.

Leading the University’s division of Housing and Residential Education, the Assistant Dean will bring an entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen, and expertise in student housing and residence life to shape and build a best-in-class operation that serves the needs of the University’s students, enhances their co-curricular experience, and generates essential revenue for the University’s ongoing success.

This is an opportunity for a strategic-minded and relationship-oriented leader to leave their mark on a national research university that is on the ascent.
