Summary of Position
The Batalden Assistant Dean of Student Success and Belonging is responsible for creating and implementing programs, strategies, and initiatives to enhance the academic, social, and emotional well-being and the overall experience for undergraduate students through a framework of “belonging without othering.” Centering the student experience lens on belonging without othering as the primary approach for student success will be ground-breaking within higher education and further Augsburg’s national reputation as a leader in supporting students historically marginalized within higher education.
This framework centers the focus of student success efforts on four key support areas: inclusion, connectedness to peers and others, sense of visibility to others including the greater institution, and agency. This position will lead stakeholders as they develop a comprehensive, systematic approach to student success based in building belonging without othering across campus. The Batalden Assistant Dean of Student Success and Belonging will then deliver and implement a shared action plan that ensures Augsburg fulfills its promise that all our students find belonging and concomitant post-graduate success.
The Batalden Assistant Dean for Student Success and Belonging will serve as the university leader for student success through intentional efforts of belonging without othering. The position will champion a holistic and cross-functional commitment to belonging without othering as the pathway to student success. The position will lead Augsburg in integrating existing opportunities, identifying areas for growth, and building support resources that meet students where they are and fill the gaps. Partnering with various offices, departments, and individuals across campus will be critical to the success of this role, including the Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, Assistant Provost and Dean of Students, Associate Dean for Student Success, and Assistant Dean for Persistence and Graduation.
Essential to ensuring that we live up to the promise of an Augsburg education, this leader will put Augsburg at the forefront of higher education once more as we push the foundational importance of belonging without othering for student success.
The Batalden Assistant Dean of Student Success and Belonging position is generously funded by Paul and LaVonne Batalden (‘63).
