[civsa] Job Posting - Director Special Programs within Campus Information Services at Rutgers University

Tue Jun 12 11:38:32 CDT 2012

Dear CiVSA Colleagues,

Although this is not the typical position announcement for the CiVSA 
listserv, I realize that many of our members have unique and broad 
experiences and backgrounds that might well match the requirements for 
this unique position that we have just posted within Campus Information 
Services at Rutgers University.

This is a new Director position that encompasses the leadership, 
coordination and management of Rutgers' 250th anniversary in 2016.  It 
is a four year position that will include: major event/program planning 
and implementation; volunteer and VIP support; committee coordination; 
marketing and promotion; and of course fundraising among other critical 
tasks.

Anniversary celebrations hold many opportunities and possibilities for 
their schools and institutions but our research has also shown that it 
is most important to find the right individual with the appropriate 
background and experiences to develop and lead these once in a lifetime 
events.

I hope you will find this posting of interest and please feel free to 
share with others who you think might have the qualities we seek in the 
person holding this critical position.

Thanks!

Matt Weismantel
