Classification Administrator III About Cal State East Bay Cal State East Bay's beautiful main campus is located in the Hayward hills with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay shoreline. Situated above the city of Hayward, the campus offers an ideal setting for teaching and learning and yet easy access to the many cities along the bay. The University has a satellite campus in Concord, a professional development center in Oakland and a significant presence online. Founded in 1957, Cal State East Bay is one of 23 universities of the California State University system (CSU). Cal State East Bay is recognized as a regionally engaged and globally oriented university with a strong commitment to academic innovation, student success, engaged and service learning, diversity, and sustainability. About the Position The University Libraries at Cal State East Bay, Hayward and Concord, are the heart of the campus, inspiring students, faculty, and staff to engage in the adventure of intellectual discovery and creation. Specifically, the Cal State East Bay Library (Library) on the Hayward campus serves as a hub of academic support on campus by providing an engaging environment for study and an integrated suite of student services, including the Student Center for Academic Achievement (SCAA) and technology support in the Learning Commons in addition to reference and research services, and faculty support. The libraries consist of 14 library faculty, 24 staff, and 47 student assistants. The Library moved into a new state-of-the-art building, CORE, in the fall of 2022. Within CORE, faculty and staff now have access to twice as many study seats as in the old library and 32 new and improved group study rooms. With a commitment to innovation, there is also a meditation room, a family-friendly study space, and more. The next dean, in collaboration with the library team and campus community, will have the opportunity to chart a 21st-century vision and strategic plan for the future of the Cal State East Bay Library and the new CORE facility. The vision and plan should be forward-looking and play a significant role in key university initiatives within the institution's strategic plan. The dean will also build collaborations and partnerships across the university emphasizing support for student success, research, and scholarship opportunities. The dean must value teamwork and support the professional journey of all team members within the Library as well as be a strong advocate for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The Dean of the Libraries is a key leadership role responsible for overseeing the ever-changing roles of libraries, strategic direction, operations, and advancement of the University's library system. This role is pivotal in shaping the academic and research experience at the institution, fostering innovation in library services and technologies, as well as ensuring the library remains a hub for knowledge dissemination and collaboration; in fact, we envision the library will become a destination for everyone on campus. The Dean is the primary advocate for recognizing and communicating the libraries’ critical value and impact on learning and integrating knowledge.
