The academic administration is dedicated to improving educational resources across the college and working closely with faculty, program chairs, instructional support areas, and the Student Affairs staff to enhance student learning.

Academic Affairs is composed of a central leadership office and four academic divisions: Architecture, Design, Fine Arts, and Humanities & Sciences. The staff in each division work collaboratively to address operational and curricular challenges that impact Academic Affairs administration.

The APPM serves as a key liaison between academic and administrative departments at the college and collaborates with other college partners to ensure the success of our internal and external partnerships and dean initiatives. The APPM serves as an institutional ambassador when interfacing with external partners and donors, bringing a level of professionalism to all interactions that is aligned with the college's mission, culture, and values.

The APPM oversees all aspects of projects, including: setting deadlines, budget planning, research assistance, scheduling meetings & travel, event planning & management, developing social media campaigns, and monitoring/summarizing progress of projects. The APPM regularly prepares reports for supervisor, deans, and/or Office of Advancement regarding status of projects.

The APPM works directly with deans, the Office of Advancement, external college partners, and other key stakeholders to ensure deliverables fall within the applicable scope and budget and that the terms of funding/partnership agreements are satisfied. He or she will coordinate with internal departments to ensure all aspects of each project are compatible and will hire and supervise work study students as needed to assist with project and event needs.
