About the School of Education at Nevada State University:

The
Nevada State School of Education (SOE) is an exciting and dynamic place to work with more than 1000 undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and
graduate students. The SOE has worked hard over the last 20+ years to address the needs of state, supporting passionate students as they
transform into skilled and highly qualified teachers and speech-language pathologists. SOE is housed in the Christenson Education Building,
which opened in the summer of 2021. The speech language-pathology program was the first graduate program at Nevada State and was recently
awarded full accreditation by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association. The program has strong community ties and provides
services at an on-campus clinic in Henderson and at the Rite-Care Clinic in Las Vegas.

Diversity and Inclusion Statement:

Nevada State University, a four-year Minority Serving public institution with a statewide mission, is dedicated to excellence in teaching
and learning and committed to the advancement of a diverse and largely under-served student population. Designated a Hispanic Serving (HSI)
and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Institution (AANAPI), Nevada State is a university where teaching and student support

to strengthen the university and progress its mission, the university dedicates itself to intentional and ongoing reflection to meeting the
evolving needs of Nevada State University, the surrounding communities, and the State of Nevada.

We seek applicants who are
passionate about working with this promising student population and collaborating with faculty and staff across departments to make a
