Doane is looking to hire a new events coordinator.

Janet Jeffries, who recently accepted a position in the library, formerly held the position.

"When Janet got the [coordinator] position, she was also a college historian," said Kim Jacobs, vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Leadership. "This doesn't apply to the new position."

Events such as homecoming and building dedications are examples of what the events coordinator is in charge of, said Gerry Johnson, who is currently in charge of the master calendar.

The position will report to the director of the Office of Communication and Marketing, Jacque Pomajzl. Formerly, the position reported to the vice president for Advancement.

Detailed responsibilities include the following:

--Planning and executing academic ceremonies (such as opening convocation, commencement, and presidential inauguration), recognition events and summer conferences.

--Helping to oversee the master calendar.

--Developing or assisting in the coordination of event-related print materials, publicity and photography.

--Acting as the on-site event coordinator and key contact for guests, college personnel and vendors.

--Organizing an event planning system to ensure event needs are met.

--Managing cost effectiveness of events.

--Supporting other marketing-related responsibilities.

--Managing the inventory of event supplies.

Anyone interested in the position should contact Cindy Alberts, the executive secretary for Financial Affairs, or fill out an application on the Doane Web site.
