DIRECTOR, FEDERAL TRIO PROGRAMS (UPWARD BOUND AND RONALD E. MCNAIR
PROGRAMS)

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications and
nominations for the position of Director, Federal TRiO Programs (Upward
Bound and Ronald E. McNair).  The Upward Bound Program was established
at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1966 and annually serves 90 low-income and
first-generation high school students, assisting them in building the
knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary to ensure success in
post-secondary education and lifelong learning.  Established in 2009,
the Ronald E. McNair Program each year enrolls 25 undergraduate students
who are first-generation, low-income, or underrepresented in graduate
education, and prepares them for post-baccalaureate study.

The Director of the TRiO Programs has overall responsibility for the
activities, programs, and operations of the unit.  Specific
responsibilities of the Director include the following:

*Strategic planning.  The Director generates long and short-range
strategies to ensure high quality educational and academic counseling
services to effectively serve the needs of high school and college
students.

*Program development, implementation, and evaluation.  The Director
oversees the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the TRiO
Programs administered at UNC-Chapel Hill through supervision of program
staff and monitoring of programmatic activities and participants.
Program evaluation is an essential responsibility to ensure thorough
documentation of achievements and accountability for program outcomes.

*Fiscal and administrative oversight and fundraising.  The Director is
responsible for overseeing budgetary matters, including annual budget
development and reporting and day-to-day oversight; developing grant
proposals and providing oversight of grants and contracts; fundraising;
supervision of administrative and program staff; and oversight of mentor
activities.

*External relations, partnership development, and collaboration.  The
Director is the TRiO Programs' official representative to internal and
external constituencies, responsible for developing and maintaining
productive relationships with faculty, staff, administrators, and
students from affiliated high schools and UNC-Chapel Hill; parents of
program participants; alumni and community partners; advisory board
members; and local, state, federal, and national groups and individuals.

The position requires significant leadership experience and achievement
in programs that prepare low-income, first-generation, and
underrepresented students for college and graduate school.  The Director
must be able to communicate with diverse audiences, build relationships
with a wide variety of partners and constituents, and engage in
successful grant making.  He or she must be sensitive to and deeply
understanding of the challenges faced by the programs' students,
knowledgeable about higher education at both undergraduate and graduate
levels, and passionate in pursuit of the mission and goals of the TRiO
Programs.  The Director also must have proven managerial, fiscal, and
administrative abilities and an understanding of the culture, policies,
and procedures typical in high schools and in major public research
universities.  A minimum of a Master's degree is required, with
doctorate preferred.  The Director reports to the Provost through the
Associate Provost for Academic Initiatives and prepares and transmits to
the Provost an annual budget and annual assessments of his or her
activities and those of the TRiO Programs.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a comprehensive
research university offering the highest academic quality and a culture
of achievement and collaboration. Chartered in 1789, UNC is the oldest
state university in the United States. The University enrolls 29,390
