We are always looking for dynamic new staff and faculty who share our dedication to helping students succeed. Our staff recruiters will be traveling to Florida to interview for a variety of staff positions.  So as an alumni, if you are looking for a way to give back or really would just like to be a part of the SCAD community again, here is your opportunity!

There are immediate openings for event coordinator, international admission representative, user experience designer, interactive designer, web and mobile developer and assistant social media manager.
