The following new position was announced on the listserv by Maura DeMouy, Assistant Dean for Student Support, at Catholic University:
Dear ASP Colleagues,
I am happy to let you know about an exciting new opportunity at The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law as Assistant Director for Academic Affairs. The Assistant Director position will report to me and is a 12-month, full-time, non-faculty staff position.
This position carries two primary responsibilities. One is to support our students in successfully gaining admission to the bar of their choice. This responsibility in turn involves two main activities: (1) implementing and managing the law school’s efforts to support our student’s success in passing relevant bar examinations (mostly in Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and New York); and (2) supervising preparation of bar certifications for all relevant jurisdictions (nationwide). Pursuit of the first activity will most likely involve significant counseling and coaching of students, both in groups and individually. Pursuit of the second activity will be supported by an Administrative Assistant II in the Office of Academic Affairs. Part of this overall responsibility will also involve the collection and maintenance of data regarding the bar exam experience of our students, and the appropriate analysis and reporting of that data. It will also involve the regular monitoring of, and reporting on, bar admissions requirements, and bar exam characteristics, in all relevant jurisdictions.
The second primary responsibility of this position is to implement and manage our ongoing academic support efforts at the law school. Again, discharge of this responsibility is likely to involve significant counseling and coaching of students, both in groups and individually. It will also likely involve the development and deployment of resources of particular use to students having academic difficulty. The individual in this position will also tailor counseling and support for students with disability accommodations.
Beyond these two primary responsibilities, the position more generally supports the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Research, the Assistant Dean for Academic Services and Registrar, and the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs and Dean of Students in the work of the Office of Academic Affairs.
