Subject: Director of Drew Science Scholars Program –
Job Posting #844940
The College of Natural Science (NatSci) at Michigan State
University (MSU) invites applications for the next Director of the Charles Drew
Science Scholars Program. Since its inception in 1979, the Charles Drew Science
Scholars Program has provided comprehensive academic support within a
living-learning community to high-achieving undergraduate students from
populations historically underrepresented in science and mathematics. The Drew
Program offers its members dedicated academic advising, academic coaching,
career advising, and specialized programming, including two seminar courses, to
foster academic and professional growth. Drew Scholars are active members of
the MSU community, engaging in undergraduate research, peer mentorship,
leadership in student organizations, and community service. Many Drew Scholars
are also members of the Honors College. The program currently serves about 250
students pursuing majors in the College of Natural Science. NatSci’s recently
published strategic plan set a goal of doubling the size of the incoming class
of Drew Science Scholars to 120 students by 2025. The next Director will be a
key partner in this expansion, providing leadership and vision to the process
while continuing to foster an environment that supports diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI).
The Director will hold a 12-month, 100% appointment in the
Academic Specialist Continuing System with salary commensurate with experience.
