The Position:
The Director of Emergency Management and Safety Operations (DEMSO) is a critical member of the Business and Auxiliary Services Leadership Team, a leader of the Ball State University (BSU) Emergency Assessment Advisory Team, and a liaison to the BSU Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Advisory Committee.
Under the direction of the Senior Associate Vice President for Business Affairs (SAVP) and informed by the inclusive BSU Emergency Assessment Advisory Team and the BSU ERM Advisory Committee content experts, the DEMSO coordinates and guides campus emergency preparedness and planning, incident response, emergency communications, and campus safety operations.
