Some of the leadership responsibilities will include the development of course material, laboratory experiences, and facilities as well as establishing corporate and labor linkages to ensure Northern graduates are ready to work in the plumbing trade. In addition, the faculty may be involved in curriculum development, program growth, program assessment, working with an advisory board, and assisting in student recruitment efforts. Academic responsibilities will also include serving on campus committees, involvement in campus activities, and serving as an ambassador and collegiate member of the College of Technical Sciences.
