PRIMARY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS (As referenced in The Post Way of Life – Associates’ Daily Commitments)

• We expect our associates to CARE (Connect–Assess–Resolve–Excite) in every stakeholder interaction. CARE is a framework to guide our every decision and action. CARE also resonates with our diverse associate & student populations – as humans, we know what it means to CARE.
• We CONNECT. We believe relationships matter. Not only do we believe relationships matter, but we also know there is a direct correlation between the quality of our relationships and our outcomes. We invest in our relationships with colleagues, students, and ourselves – we make time to tend to our mental, physical, financial, and professional health.
• We ASSESS. We take the time to understand fully why something happens or happened; we remove assumptions and eliminate confusion or ambiguity by asking questions and creating context, certainty, clarity, and mutual understanding. We collaborate with others throughout the university by understanding their strengths and the value they bring to the tribe. When we encounter conflict, we first seek to understand and then to be understood – and always with respect.
• We RESOLVE. We generate the trust of our colleagues, students, regulatory bodies, and our greater communities by doing the right thing all the time—even when nobody is looking. We honor our promises by following up and following through. We help others learn and grow by sharing information and feedback.
• We EXCITE. “Making It Personal” is the experience we promise each student and associate in every interaction. Excite is the heart of our experience philosophy. We find ways to Wow, Amaze and Delight others by being resourceful and helpful. We embrace change, take risks, and innovate. We celebrate successes and recognize the accomplishments of others.

· Bachelor's degree strongly preferred, and collegiate coaching and/or playing experience required. An equivalent combination of education and experience can be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
