We seek positive, conscientious, student-centered individuals to help prepare students for lives of impact by connecting them with educational experiences tailored to their specific goals and needs. Academic advisors in the Dietrich School and CGS work with students from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives and with a broad range of academic interests that intersect. Examples include: adult/non-traditional students, students from underrepresented backgrounds, students interested in pursuing degrees in the life sciences, students interested in medical school and/or careers in the health sciences, and students at various stages in the academic decision-making process, including undecided/undeclared students and declared majors. We ask applicants to discuss experiences working with these student groups in your cover letter. Academic advisors help students identify academic and career goals and assist with appropriate course selection and degree planning. Academic advisors connect students to helpful resources and services and monitor degree progress. In order to deliver a high level of student service within dynamic and changing environments, academic advisors continually build on a foundation of advising theory and practice. Academic advisors may participate in and assist with the planning and implementation of unit and/or University-sponsored activities, including, but not limited to retention and outreach efforts, internal working groups/committees, new and continuing student programs, graduation review, on-boarding programs for new students, and remediation efforts for students experiencing academic difficulties. Academic advisors use various software packages and platforms to fulfill these responsibilities and must be able to adapt to new technologies without sacrificing quality. Academic advisors must be committed advocates for a diverse student body and successfully build and foster inclusive relationships with students and colleagues. This position requires patience, flexibility, energy, and a sincere desire to assist students. Excellent organization, communication skills, timeliness, cooperation, collaboration, and accuracy are essential. Successful candidates must demonstrate the ability to prioritize and manage multiple simultaneous demands, inclusive of balancing a sizeable caseload of students with administrative, creative, and/or project driven responsibilities. An ability to understand and appreciate the perspectives of various communities, including communities of color, is a must. The Dietrich School and College of General Studies hire individuals who: foster and promote an inclusive workplace where diversity and individual differences are valued; treat all individuals with respect; build collaborative working relationships with people of all different backgrounds; and practice equitable treatment and opportunity for all individuals.
