Mitchell College is building on its long history of making education more accessible by pioneering an approach which is flexible, strengths-based, and interest-driven. Our abilities-based approach to learning focuses on teaching adaptability through curriculum that provides multiple opportunities for students to apply learning in different classroom, social, and professional contexts. To keep this model innovative, vibrant, and responsive to students’ needs and interests, we hire staff and faculty who are invested in neuro-inclusivity, collaboration, and community building. Our approach to campus life ensures that students learn what they need to live life well, both professionally and personally.
Mitchell College is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor of Management, with a disciplinary emphasis in Sport Management. The successful candidate will be expected to teach introductory and upper-level courses in the Division of Business, joining a collaborative, entrepreneurial faculty team using our flexible modern curriculum to help students become engaged professionals in their chosen fields. Through hands-on learning including our full-year sophomore Mlab experience and our career-focused specializations, we believe in the “dual operating system” of creativity AND structure in everything we do. We are deliberately working to become the best business teaching institution in Connecticut.
