Re-Entry Specialist

Position Summary:

As part of the campus Student Services team, the successful applicant for this role will use their innate positivity and powers of persuasion to engage students who have dropped out of school. Come join an enthusiastic, dedicated team of education professionals. You will be making phone calls, emailing, texting, and generally doing what you can to reconnect with them and help them work through the issue(s) that caused them to drop out, and then nudge them to rediscover the passion that
caused them to enroll the first time. You will help them get their dreams and their lives back on track. We don’t underestimate the challenge of this role; not everyone will want to come back…and that’s okay.

• Liaise with colleagues in the Admissions Department, Faculty, and Student Services team to learn as much as you can about the individuals you are trying to reconnect with.
• There will be other duties, as assigned. The importance of this role gives you the ability to impact peoples’ lives positively and directly. That is why we are looking for an experienced, empathetic professional with excellent communication skills and the ability to see situations from different perspectives. Education and Experience: The preferred applicant will have an associate (or higher) level degree, and a minimum of two years of related successful experience and/or training, ideally in an Admissions or Student Services setting within adult education.
