Dear Ms. Blackwell,
I would like to apply for the Associate Dean of Humanities at Caldwell College. I have built a career in academia over the past decade and possess the skills needed to be a successful college administrator.
As Head of the Modern Language Department and Professor of Spanish at Springfield College I am the contact person for the department in addition to teaching a full 12 credit course load per semester. My teaching methods and interpersonal skills have helped me to obtain my current leadership position. I am a quick problem solver and consider myself to be highly organized. I enjoy taking on a challenge and know that there will likely be many in a position such as Associate Dean. I have found creative solutions in dealing with budget issues and temporary personnel shortages. I can bring this same creativity and grace under pressure to Caldwell College and the Department of Humanities.
I am confident you will find my professional experience and personal characteristics to be a good fit for your Associate Dean of Humanities position. I look forward to speaking with you in person and welcome you to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Best,
Erin McGinnis
