Each Success Coordinator will organize, train, and supervise approximately ten Student Success Guides and oversee their engagement with caseloads of approximately 10-20 students, respectively.

This position requires some non-traditional work hours including evenings and weekends to accommodate student schedules, including those engaged in co-op, athletics, and other aspects of student life.

• This position requires the incumbent to have effective administrative, organization, written and oral communication skills.
• Experience working autonomously and the ability to exercise excellent time management and decision-making skills in areas of responsibility.
• Skills and knowledge are normally acquired through completion of a Bachelor's degree or equivalent and one to three years' experience working directly with and supporting/developing students in Residential Life, Student Life, or related capacity, e.g., as a student peer mentor, orientation leader, etc.
• Prior supervisory experience preferred.
• Previous experience in conflict resolution/mediation and crisis management a plus.

This may include direct work with a student to provide additional support, working with Campus Partners, or additional coaching work with a Student Success Guide.

Success Coordinators will assist with the development and growth of the Student Support Initiative through independent and collaborative work.
