Dardens core courses emphasize the enduring topics of communication strategy, giving professional presentations, and writing persuasively, while continually refreshing content and pedagogy as new technologies emerge and the skills expected of MBAs evolve.  Required teaching will include two sections of Leadership Communication, a core course in all Darden graduate degree program formats Residential MBA, Executive MBA, Part-time MBA, and MS in Business Analytics.  We seek a colleague who can work collaboratively with a faculty team to deliver an excellent core course that is consistent across sections.

We seek a lifelong learner eager to continually engage new knowledge in the field and use emerging technologies to teach skills in presenting, public speaking, data storytelling, and specialized areas.
