Division Name: Academic Affairs
Department: Stevenson Ctr-Community/Economic Development
The primary purpose of this position is to provide support to the Director, Assistant Director, and Program Coordinator of the Stevenson Center for Community and Economic Development.

The Stevenson Center at Illinois State University promotes community and economic development in the U.S. and abroad. The Center sets the pace for public service and scholarship through a unique combination of coursework, research, professional practice, and collaboration with communities.
Like Illinois State University, one of the Stevenson Center’s core values is civic engagement. The Center prepares students to be informed and engaged global citizens who will promote and further the goals of society. The University promotes active learning experiences through which students will gain an awareness and understanding of civic engagement as a lifelong responsibility. The University partners with business, industry, government, and educational entities providing leadership in local, statewide, national, and international initiatives; expanding service and outreach; and enhancing financial support for instructional, scholarly, and service activities.
Symbiotically, the Stevenson Center educates students through their service to communities; we serve communities through the work of our students, staff, and faculty.
Our vision is for the Stevenson Center to be a place where every student feels respected, heard, supported, and celebrated for who they are and the work they accomplish here. Our mission is to act as stewards of this program and to advocate for our students, promoting inclusion, justice, and equity. One of our strategies for accomplishing these goals is to actively recruit, hire, and inclusively support students, staff, and faculty who exemplify care for inclusivity and a socially just mindset. We value the contribution that individuals committed to diversity can make to our team and believe this will serve to strengthen our program.
