About The Position

The Director of Community Engagement and Nursing Workforce Development provides strategic leadership in cultivating, expanding, and sustaining relationships with clinicians and professional networks to advance the education mission and workforce development priorities of the Georgetown University Berkley School of Nursing (BSON). Grounded in Jesuit values of cura personalis, service, and social justice, this role advances BSON’s mission by fostering meaningful partnerships that support clinical learning, student success, mentorship, experiential learning, and the future of nursing. Through intentional outreach and engagement with clinicians, administrators, community members and other relevant healthcare leaders, the Director strengthens the connection between academic nursing and practice while advancing BSON’s national reputation in nursing education, nursing science, and workforce innovation. The Director will design and implement a comprehensive short- and long-term engagement strategy that integrates clinical preceptor opportunities, student mentorship, career networking, and pipeline initiatives, with particular attention to expanding access for students from communities underrepresented in nursing. This position plays a critical role in expanding high-quality clinical and experiential learning opportunities, by cultivating clinicians who serve as preceptors, mentors, professional advisors, and champions of nursing education. The Director will also develop strategic pipeline initiatives that increase visibility of nursing as a profession and introduce students to nursing science, health, and healthcare careers through partnerships with schools, and regional organizations. Through health-focused learning experiences, nursing exploration activities, boot camps, and immersion programs, the Director will strengthen BSON’s role as a committed partner in the region while inspiring future generations to pursue careers in healthcare.
