Description:

The Associate Director of the Performing Arts Scholarship Program (PASP), within the School of Performing Arts at RIT, provides leadership for and oversight of the rapidly growing PASP. Now in its sixth year of existence, we anticipate there will be more than 2,000 PASP students on campus by the fall of 2025. The PASP requires a professional executive with strong and varied expertise, high-level communication and planning skills, extensive business acumen, and performing arts background to ensure continued success with this strategic initiative of the Institute.

The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge and experience in performing arts and higher education partnerships, recruitment, retention and data-collection, operational leadership and supervision, budgetary planning and analysis, and marketing and communication plan development. The Associate Director will project and oversee a large autonomous annual budget and strategize short-term and long-term resource needs and expenditures for the program. The individual in this role has broad latitude to make independent decisions surrounding Program expenditures.
