Update on the Three-College Director of Public Safety Search

We are writing to provide an update on our search for a new Director of Public Safety. As you may know, we convened a search committee (listed below) and began our work before the holiday break in December. We’ve posted the position in many venues and are developing a very good and strong pool of candidates. The search committee has now met twice and has begun to refine the criteria we will use to evaluate candidates for this position.

This is a very important position, and we are committed to conducting a search that secures a new Director that will successfully lead our newly established Three-College Department of Public Safety. We also want to ensure broad campus engagement in this process, beginning with ensuring that we include the perspectives of all campus constituent groups in developing the criteria on which we will evaluate candidates in our pool.

The committee has identified many attributes that we believe will be important for successful candidates to possess: Effective communication skills; sensitivity to the unique needs of a college community, including demonstrated ability to work effectively with a diversity community; solid management experience, including management of human and financial resources; ability to set a vision and clear direction for the collaborative department; ability to be an effective collaborator and planner; experience with emergency management, crisis management and emergency preparedness; experience with day-to-day operations of a public safety operation including dispatch; and possessing sound law enforcement experience and demonstrated ability to uphold the law with an educational focus and with integrity .

The search committee welcomes community feedback on our evaluation criteria and on our search process overall. Please feel free to contact me or any committee member with your advice by emailing public-safety-search@mtholyoke.edu.

If you prefer to provide anonymous feedback, you may do so by logging on to the web site http://www.mtholyoke.edu/staffcouncil/psinput/psinput.html. Feedback posted to this site will be read and reviewed by the search committee.
