Lisa Lee, Director of Alumni Relations at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania, USA) recently told the members of the Minary Conference alumni education listserv about an upcoming job opportunity. Laura Gobbi (who happens to be the chair of this year's Minary Conference) is moving on from Oberlin to take on a new challenge at Mills College (California, USA). So her position at Oberlin will be vacant:
Oberlin College seeks applications for the position of Executive Director of the Alumni Association. This is a full-time, 12-month, Administrative and Professional Staff position in the division of Development and Alumni Affairs. The Executive Director will work closely with the President and the Executive Board of the Oberlin Alumni Association on matters pertaining to policy, direction and execution of programs under the aegis of that organization. The Executive Director will report to the Vice President for Development and Alumni Affairs on matters pertaining to performance, management and general strategies relating to the activities of the Alumni Association as part of the Division of Development and Alumni Affairs at Oberlin.
To see the full job description, go to
Look for "Executive Director of the Alumni Association" under the column headed "Position Title."
It sounds like an appealing opportunity at a great school.
Also, I like the use of the word "aegis." You don't see that much anymore.
Congratulations Laura, and good luck!
