3 weeks ago

Boston, United States Berklee College of Music, Incorporated Full time

Description

:Berklee’s student success advising model provides traditional academic advising and a holistic approach to student success for undergraduate students at two distinct schools, across three campuses. Through proactive outreach and engagement, the Student Success Advising team ensures each student is aware of and has access to a dedicated network of resources, programs, and supports across the institution.

This success advisor role is designed for professionals who are passionate about advising students to set them up for success in all aspects of their educational experience—academic, personal, artistic, and professional. We are seeking candidates who will thrive in a role that supports a community of diverse, talented, and inspiring students from all over the world as they develop as creatives, artists, musicians, performers, entrepreneurs, dancers, designers, educators, and therapists.

This is a unique opportunity to join a talented professional staff of advisors, and to contribute to the continued expansion and transformation of the advising team. To ensure a highly diverse and talented team of advisors, the Student Success Advising department has a career ladder based on progressive professional experience that rewards exceptional, student-centered performance. Candidates are evaluated on their skills and years of experience.

Student Success Advisors monitor and track the progress of an assigned cohort-based caseload of undergraduate students, and focus on student success outcomes throughout the entire student journey at Berklee, including academic milestones like core curriculum completion, major declaration, time-to-degree progression, and graduation. Student Success Advisors develop and coordinate workshops, class visits, and advising events that support the goals of the Student Success Advising department. They bring current best practices and theories in the areas of student success and persistence, academic advising, and student identity development to their daily work. Critical to this role is approaching student advising with an ethic of care and ability to provide a personalized approach that builds strong, authentic, and trusting relationships with students.
