The successful candidate will demonstrate a willingness and aptitude to develop complementary course-level curriculum and pedagogy that integrates foundational concepts from courses in philosophy, theology, and Catholic Social Teaching to modern business concepts. This will be implemented in ways that tangibly buttress the College’s efforts to form scholars, citizens, leaders, and disciples.

Successful candidates will also demonstrate the ability to cultivate opportunities for student programming that reinforce the curricular tactics mentioned above. Examples include cultivating experiential learning opportunities with local business and community organizations, student research, seminars, simulations, competitions, field-study, etc.

Successful Holy Cross students will graduate not only with a rigorous grounding in their primary area of study, but also with the ability to connect those skills to understanding the needs of our broader world, and to the development of solutions in service to the common good, thereby providing them with the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary for personal and professional success.
