Arts and Cultural Leadership (ACL) Teaching Specialists Continuous 2022-2023 - Military Veterans
at HERC- Upper MidWest
We are interested in building a diverse group of faculty with experience in arts and cultural leadership who are passionate about educating emerging leaders. We're also interested in engaging first-time instructors who are themselves arts and cultural leaders. Teaching Specialists report to the Associate Dean for Graduate Education, CCAPS and typically teach on a semester basis to teach at least one course per academic year. Courses may be offered in face-to-face, online, or hybrid formats.
As a growing program, ACL has a need for additional instructional staff to offer coursework in topics that include current trends in the arts and cultural sector, cross-sector collaboration, and arts entrepreneurship.
