In 2009, Conrad returned to Pomona and took the position of Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, which she held until 2012.[11][7] In the fall of 2012 and for that academic year, Conrad also served as Acting President.[12]
In 2010, Conrad joined the National Science Foundation's Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE), where she served as Vice Chair from 2011–2012 and Chair from 2012–present.[12]
Conrad left her position at Pomona in January 2013, when she was asked to serve as Managing Director for the MacArthur Foundation.[7][18] There, she manages the MacArthur Fellows program as well as 100&Change, two programs that provide sizable grants to "extraordinarily creative and inspiring individuals."[19][20] Conrad is also the CEO of Lever for Change, which is a nonprofit affiliate of the MacArthur Foundation.[19] This organization works specifically to make philanthropic resources available for the benefit of social change.[21]
