Vice President for Inclusion

The Vice President for Inclusion (VPI) will serve as the senior
administrator charged with developing and implementing a comprehensive plan that connects, leverages, and furthers equity and inclusion
efforts on campus. Leading with vision and buoyed by a willing collective of others committed to the work, the VPI will forge a path and
direction in grounding a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners.
Collaborative partners across the institution welcome the opportunity to work with the VPI to promote and develop a community of learners
who embrace opportunities to grow their knowledge and understanding around diversity and inclusion and seek to act toward fostering and
affirming a culture that supports equity and belonging across the community.

The Vice President will join the College at a pivotal
moment in its history. With a celebration of Lafayette’s bicentennial to occur in 2026, the President is undertaking both a strategic plan
and a campus master plan to ensure the College enters its third century on a strong foundation. Part of this plan includes a more
comprehensive and strategic approach to the equity work already occurring in areas across the institution. Through initiatives such as the
campus-wide Committee for
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and well-established programs: the Office of Intercultural
Development, the Hanson Center for Inclusive
STEM Education, and the Center for
the Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship just to name a few, the College delivers on a strong commitment to equity and
inclusion work. To move this work to the next level, however, the institution is in need of coordination and a unifying vision.

With this goal in mind, the College seeks an accomplished leader and educator with experience developing diversity, equity, and
inclusion initiatives and programs within a complex and collaborative organization where shared governance is the norm. The ideal candidate
will have a strong background in equity and inclusion work, preferably in a college or university setting, and have a proven track record of
program development and implementation. They will have the ability to work across the institution as a collaborator, convener, and partner
to move forward a creative and ambitious plan for Lafayette College’s third century as a leader and innovator in building a community of
belonging and flourishing for all.
