Hybrid Academic Program Coordinator bei Regis University

Working at Regis University

As Regis employees, we embrace our Jesuit Catholic values of respect, inclusion and equity, and welcome employees, faculty and students from all faiths and cultures. Together, we perform our duties in alignment with the mission of the University and seek dedicated individuals to contribute to and strengthen that mission and our service to students. Why Work at Regis?

Job Summary:

The Office of the First Year Experience was created in 2017 as part of a comprehensive growth plan in Regis College intended to build greater institutional capacity for inclusive excellence, student retention, and student readiness as part of our way of proceeding as a Jesuit liberal arts university. The First Year Experience (FYE) offers new students a cohesive introduction to our academic culture and Jesuit mission by means of three programs: The Foundational Core (fall and spring first-year seminars); the First Year Advising Program; and the First-Year Learning Community.

The Academic Program Coordinator supports this work of creating community by offering operational leadership over the course of incoming students’ first year. This operational leadership has a significant student-facing dimension because of our programmatic outreach and engagement. It also has a faculty- facing dimension because we organize faculty advisors teaching in the foundational core. Finally, it involves organizing and collaborating with numerous campus stakeholders who are invested in the success of our first-year students, including with those offices that are engaged in new student onboarding (Admissions, Housing, Student Life, etc.). The Academic Program Coordinator is a key contributor to managing specific projects and offering general operational oversight.

Because the FYE is the first contact faculty and staff have with our new students, the Academic Program Coordinator contributes in crucial ways to creating a campus environment which is both welcoming and engaging, an environment which fosters success for all our incoming students and, in turn catalyzes institutional transformation.

An ideal candidate will bring to this work a demonstrable commitment to the success of traditionally underrepresented and underserved students at Regis and will be ready to engage with the Ignatian tradition which informs our student-centered, holistic approach to transformative education as a Jesuit university.

This is a 12-month, 40 hour per week position.

Major Duties and Responsibilities:

• Manage internal and external communication related to the program, including newsletters, social media, and websites. 

• Collaborate with numerous campus stakeholders to promote the program to prospective students through outreach activities, events, recruitment efforts, and student onboarding.

• Serve as a point of contact for students with questions or issues related to their academic program.

• Help organize faculty meetings and ensure faculty are informed about program changes, updates, and policies.

• Collect and analyze data on student satisfaction, retention, and success rates for program evaluation.

• Monitor and track budget allocations related to the program.
