Position Summary:

Each Academic College has worked collaboratively with one another, the SESS Action Teams, and the AVP of Student Academic Success to implement a student advising/resource center in their respective Colleges. The focus of these centers is to serve students and to increase retention and graduation rates.

The introduction of the Administrative Service Center (ASC) model allows us the opportunity to provide professionally trained, student-centered, staff members, who have a visible and accessible presence to welcome students, parents, support people, and others to assist them with accurate and timely responses to their questions and concerns. The reallocation of administrative assistant positions from the departments to the ASC requires that we have three Student and Faculty Support Specialists between Gunter Hall and Ross Hall.

The Student and Faculty Support Specialist’s key function is to support students who contact the office with questions or concerns. These positions work collaboratively with their college-based professional advisors/coaches, faculty, SOAR advisors, learning assistance programs (e.g. Writing Center, Tutoring Center, Math Lab), Career Services, Bear Central, and other campus partners to promote improved undergraduate student outcomes. Other key functions include aiding academic units with course scheduling, curriculum workflow and accreditation/compliance record maintenance.

The Student and Faculty Support Specialist will also answer inquiries received by phone and/or electronically, including checking various email accounts as needed.
