</div></div></div>
<div><div><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Position Summary:</b></h3>
<p>
The General Manager serves as an integral member of the Communication Department, providing leadership for the study of broadcasting and practice of broadcasting. The General Manager provides direct management and oversight of WGCS, a radio station transmitting a terrestrial signal on 91.1 FM, and Globe Media, a multimedia enterprise that streams the same radio programming and provides additional audio and video content worldwide. This is a full-time 12 month appointment, consisting of 83% administrative faculty and 17% teaching faculty (the teaching responsibilities involve serving as the instructor for two courses each year).</p>
<p>
WGCS is a federally licensed trustee operating in the public interest and governed by numerous regulations issued by the Federal Communications Commission. Established in 1958, WGCS is the educational radio voice of Goshen College. The General Manager has primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with FCC regulations and Goshen College standards. The station is on-air 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year-round. By radio signal, 91.1 FM reaches across Michiana; however, WGCS can be heard simultaneously online, from anywhere across the world.</p>
<p>
The General Manager is responsible for supervising 24-hour programming at Globe Media, which includes music, news, public affairs and sports. The Globe provides live<br>
broadcasting of most sports events at Goshen College. While audio is the primary format, staff members also produce complementary video segments on Globe Media. For example, the Globe invites guest musicians of national note to perform live in both the radio and TV studios.</p>
<p>
The General Manager strives to lead a student team in maintaining excellence in all areas of Globe Media. The Globe has been named Best College Radio Station in the Nation five times by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systems, College Media Association and the Broadcast Education Association. The Globe has also been named the Best College Radio Station in Indiana 11 times by the Indiana Association of School Broadcasters and once by the Indiana Broadcasters Association.</p>
<p>
The General Manager oversees a staff of more than a dozen students each year, including the student station manager, student executive producer, program director, chief<br>
announcer, news director, sports director, play-by-play director, digital content editor, music director, public relations director, business manager, graphic designer and several multimedia journalists. The General Manager also manages volunteers, including faculty who host radio shows, and oversees broadcasts of College Mennonite Church services. The General Manager also ensures that all components of the station and the nearby radio tower are maintained through coordination with the station studio engineer and other ITS Media staff.</p>
<p>
As a faculty member, the General Manager attends department and school meetings; serves on institution-wide committees; and provides advising. On behalf of the Communication Department, the General Manager also assists with the recruiting of prospective students, with lead responsibility for any students with an interest in broadcasting. The General Manager should be interested in working closely with students and other faculty members as part of a dynamic campus and community.</p>
<p>
Given the presence of the radio station in the Center for Communication Studies, the General Manager assumes a lead role in overseeing tours and recruitment visits to this dynamic communication wing and in maintaining a professional, well-ordered work space.</p>

This is a full-time salaried position with an annual wage of $56,220. Full benefits are also available.</p>
