The Administrative Assistant, School of Law, provides high-level administrative and operational support for the administrative function and strategic initiatives of the School of Law. The Administrative Assistant serves as a key member of the School of Law administrative team and supports the effective functioning of leadership operations, institutional initiatives, governance activities, external relations, communications, and office administration. The Administrative Assistant operates with a high degree of professionalism, discretion, independent judgment, and organizational skill while collaborating closely with administrative colleagues across the office suite to ensure coordinated support and operational continuity. The Office of the Dean includes the Dean, and three Associate Deans.

Communications and Office Operations

Support communications from the Dean's Office to internal and external constituents.

Maintain confidentiality regarding personnel matters, institutional communications, strategic initiatives, and other sensitive information.

Ensure assigned website and calendar information remains accurate and current.

Coordinate office operations to ensure responsiveness, professionalism, and continuity of service.

Collaborate with administrative colleagues to ensure coordinated office coverage and shared operational responsibilities across the office suite.

Event and Meeting Support

Assist with planning and execution of School of Law events, meetings, receptions, and leadership programs.

Coordinate logistics including scheduling, catering, registrations, communications, and event support.

Attend meetings and prepare meeting notes or minutes as assigned.

Job Requirements:

Associate's degree.

Minimum of five years of progressively responsible administrative experience, preferably in higher education, legal, nonprofit, or executive office environments.

Demonstrated ability to exercise discretion and maintain confidentiality.

Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, Outlook, and other office technology systems.

Experience supporting senior administrators, boards, committees, or institutional initiatives preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

The position requires sound judgment, confidentiality, attention to detail, and collaborative engagement with a wide range of constituents.

At the University's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be accepted where the candidate can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the University, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.
