    Springfield Technical Community College invites applications for the next Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies (LAPS). The division offers 18 degree and certificate programs. Given STCC's technical mission, service departments housed in LAPS play a critical role in providing General Education courses for the College's School of Health and Patient Simulation (SHPS) and School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).

    Other Duties and Responsibilities:

    • Perform special projects and other related duties as initiated and requested by the VPAA.
    • Represent the VPAA and the Division of Academic Affairs on ad hoc and shared governance committees.
