Instructor - Student Affairs Fellow - Al Ain, United Arab Emirates - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES UNIVERSITY

Description

A vital aspect of this position is the creation of a meaningful and active faculty presence in the academic and non-academic student journey.

Faculty Fellows work closely with student affairs staffs in housing, recreation areas, clubs, students extracurricular, etc., to set an intellectual and academic tone in student affairs activities and bridge the gap between academic departments and student affairs division.

Faculty Fellows will have the opportunity to interpret broad program goals in different ways, including those that align with their academic interests and personal passions.

Generally, however, the program encourages Faculty Fellows to design structure, and informal programs and events that will appeal to a broad range of students and that allow for significant interaction among students and between students and faculty members.

Ideally, these activities are planned and organized around themes such as literature, language, and culture, the arts, science and technology, community service, the professions, the first-year experience, or other similar possibilities.

Faculty Fellows will be expected to organize and facilitate programs; have frequent, direct interaction with students and staff; and serve as a mentor, role model, advisor, and academic resource generally to students within the residence hall.
