About the Job
The Change Management Program Lead is a temporary, part-time,
non-tenured position for our Professional Development and Lifelong Learning Programs. The Program Lead is responsible for aligning the

program-level curriculum (i.e. program name, program description, program outcomes, outcomes for the courses that comprise the program),
participating in course SME and instructor search committees, advising course SMEs and instructors, and recommending program and course
revisions.
The Change Management Certificate will be a non-credit professional development certificate program. It will consist of
2-4 courses. Each course will be 4-8 weeks in length and include 4-5 hours of asynchronous learning per week and a 60-90 minute Zoom session

for interactive conversation and activities that invite learners to engage and apply information. Learners will be assessed using authentic
assessments that simulate real-world application of skills.
The Program Lead will be initially appointed for a 4-month period during
