rAbout This Role:

The A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication at Kansas State
University and Collegian Media Group (CMG) seek a forward-thinking
journalistic leader to fill the position of CMG Director and Instructor
for our award-winning student media organization. This dynamic role is
split between teaching cutting-edge classes in news writing, media

of Student Publications Inc., which does business as Collegian Media
Group, answering to the CMG board of directors as well as the director
of the school.

What is expected:

student-run publications, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), including [“The

yearbook. The role involves overseeing a dedicated team of students and
staff, driving award-winning content, and engaging with the CMG board
and director of the school. It is student-run under the supervision of
full-time faculty advisors employed by the corporation. CMGs student

As a faculty member of SMC, this person will serve on committees and be
expected to teach to the highest standards as well as being a teammate
on a forward-facing faculty, continuing and nurturing the symbiotic
relationship between the corporation and the School of Media and
Communication.

Ideal candidates will possess extensive experience in student media,
both in print and online, as well as mentoring and coaching students,
alongside a strong background in nonprofit management and strategic
