The selected candidate is expected to lead the initiative toward achievement of the mission by working closely with the Director of SEE 360, the Department Head and the SEE Advisory Board. This will entail continually measuring our progress toward achievement of the mission and initiating new activities to increase our rate of progress. We are especially interested in an energetic and enthusiastic leader who will proactively develop a variety of industry partnerships.
