The
Graduate Assistant (GA) is integral to the division’s effort to provide a
purposefully engaging out-of-class experience for students. We seek a graduate
assistant who is capable of linking student development theory to practice. The
GA-ship is a professional, entry-level preparatory experience that is directly
supervised by the Assistant Dean for Community Engagement.
The goal of the OCE
is to support Occidental students, faculty and staff in engaging with the Los
Angeles community and beyond as well as to help create links with community
partners who would like to be engaged with the campus. Through our various
programs and collaborations, we help enact the college's mission of community
and service. It is the aim of the Office of Community Engagement to
offer programs that are rooted in social justice. We look to foster a
purposeful, open, just, caring, and celebrative community.
The

maintaining the Office of Community Engagement, planning and implementing
