Join the University of Virginia Division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (UVA DDEI) as the inaugural Tribal Liaison. We are working as a community to engage in meaningful and reciprocal relations with sovereign Indigenous Nations and Tribal communities in what is now called the United States. The Tribal Liaison position was created to serve two interconnected needs: one, to act as a resource for Tribal communities, especially the sovereign Nations, in their relationships with UVA, and second, to coordinate initiatives relating to Native American and Indigenous peoples across departments, schools, and administrative units at UVA. Reporting to the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Community Partnerships, the Tribal Liaison will join a team of dedicated professionals in the UVA DDEI and will collaborate extensively with the Coordinator of Virginia Indian Programs at Virginia Humanities to ensure meaningful outreach and communication with Virginia Tribes.
The core responsibility areas for the Tribal Liaison are efforts to build relationships with Native American and Indigenous communities, especially those in Virginia; coordinate programs across UVA to educate faculty, staff, and students on Native American issues; and serve Native American and Indigenous faculty, staff, and especially students by building pipelines in Tribal communities and supporting current students.
