The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and the College of General Studies (CGS) have openings for academic advisors to work with declared majors across multiple departments and programs. 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 work with students from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives and with a broad range of academic interests that intersect. Examples include: transfer students, adult/non-traditional students, students from underrepresented backgrounds, and students at various stages in the academic decision-making process. 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, degree planning, and co-curricular exploration. 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 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.
