An Assistant Dean of Students position just popped up in my Bloglines feedreader (Don’t worry, I’ll post more on ways to search for a job in student affairs using rss feeds and email digests…).

This position looks like it was written for me…if only I had 2-3 more years of experience. Sigh.

  I have 8+ years of experience in website design, editing, accessibility/usability testing. 4+ years of graphic design. My promotional pieces at UIC were often voluntarily posted on residence hall doors.

  This was 80% of my job at UIC…

Student Conduct + Database Implementation + Web Design + Publications Design + Student Development Theory. This is my dream job!
