Job Summary:

Please Note: This position is only open to current, benefit eligible employees of Eastern Washington University.

We are currently seeking skilled and team-oriented applicants for the following position:

The Associate Director of Campus Recreation (ADCR) reports to the Director of Student Engagement and Recreation, serves a leadership role for all Campus Recreation programs, and assumes primary responsibility for planning, operation, and evaluation of EPIC Adventures, EWU’s comprehensive outdoor adventure and student leadership program. As a leader within Student Affairs and the university, the ADCR models EWU’s values and mission.

Administrative: Under the guidance of the DSER, the ADCR plays a leading role in defining Campus Rec goals and objectives to facilitate EWU student engagement, retention, and success. The ADCR manages the development, execution, and evaluation of programs, manages day-to-day program budgets, and designs/implements comprehensive risk management plans. The ADCR drives internal and external communications/brand-management and oversees the equipment purchases and life-cycle management. The ADCR performs supervision, evaluation, and offers timely feedback to all program staff within Campus Recreation.

EPIC Adventures is a $500,000 program, which includes the management of approximately 100 outdoor and adventure trips, classes, and programs per year, as well as equipment rentals. The program serves approximately 600 students, staff, and faculty annually.

The Club Sports Federation is a $160,000 program, which includes the management of approximately 30+ sport clubs who train and compete at the recreational, instructional, and intercollegiate level. The program focuses on building community and developing leaders through competitive sport. The program serves over 500 students, staff, and faculty annually.

The Intramural Sports program is a $140,000 program, which includes the management of approximately 15-20 seasonal sports leagues, and 6-10 special events throughout the academic year. The program focuses on providing extracurricular engagement through quality sports programs. The program serves over 1500 students, staff, and faculty annually.

Field: The ADCR is primarily an administrative position, but it requires time in the field to train staff and to directly oversee activities with potential for significant objective hazard. The amount of required field time will vary based on program needs. All field tasks will involve evaluating staff performance while providing timely feedback. A high level of physical fitness is required.

Eastern Washington University offers a highly competitive compensation package, including market-based salary and excellent benefits.
