  • Page Dr. Jennifer R. Hammat April 19, 2015 Dear
    April 19, 2015 Dear Search Committee Members, It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application materials for your consideration to be your next Assistant Vice President for Campus Sexual Assault & Title IX Coordinator (AVP/TIXC) at the University of Oregon. For 20 years, I have worked with and on behalf of students to improve the quality of their overall educational experience. As evidenced by my resume, I have served in various student life capacities at major universities in my career. During this time, I have worked collaboratively with common purpose alongside colleagues at the campus and system levels to promote student success. I have developed, overseen, and evaluated many programs and activities aimed at improving the undergraduate and graduate student experience. Growing up in a student affairs home, I learned about student development theory, student crisis management, staff morale, personnel matters and budget issues at our dining room table. Perhaps before I knew it, this work was always my calling. For eight years, I served as the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin. Four years ago I was selected by the president to also serve as the Institutional Title IX Coordinator. This role has been profoundly insightful and motivating, and has expanded in importance for the president and the institution. The position was relocated to University Compliance Services last year and reclassified to Associate Vice President to elevate the significance of Title IX, Clery Act and Youth Protection Program compliance to the campus community. Having served as the lead administrator for this portfolio, I recognized the need to locate this role closer to the president in University Compliance Services.
