Occidental College
Division of Student Affairs

Graduate Assistant
Office of Civic Engagement

Occidental College is a private four-year liberal arts institution that is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the nation. Student enrollment is approximately 2200 undergraduates. The campus is located in Eagle Rock, a suburb of Los Angeles that is 10 minutes north of downtown and 5 minutes west of Pasadena.

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 is a professional, entry-level preparatory experience who is directly supervised by the Assistant Dean for Community Engagement.

It is the aim of the Office of Civic Engagement to offer programs that engage students, faculty, and administration in social justice and community engagement initiatives on and off campus. We look to foster a purposeful, open, just, caring, and celebrative community.

The GA is an essential member of the Student Affairs team. General duties include maintaining the Office of Civic Engagement, planning and implementing campus-wide programs, and coordinating leadership development and social justice training for students. The GA will also assist the Assistant Dean with special projects.
