The CAMP Director provides strategic and operational leadership for Weber State University’s CAMP program, an applied innovation and workforce initiative that connects technical needs identified by Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex with university faculty, students, facilities, Utah educational institutions, 47G, and industry partners.

The Director manages the overall project portfolio, translates partner needs into clearly defined projects, establishes schedules and accountability, monitors budgets and deliverables, coordinates partner communication, promotes and directs academic collaborations,and prepares required state, university and sponsor reports. The Director builds the procedures, governance, and operating systems needed to transition initial successful projects into the longer-term CAMP operating model.

Faculty project leads retain responsibility for technical decisions, technical quality, and direct supervision of students assigned to their projects. CAMP and the Miller Advanced Research & Solutions Center ( MARS ) are separate programs; the Director coordinates use of MARS space or services only when an approved CAMP project requires them.
