Maintain accurate records of all student interactions utilizing K-State platforms for information sharing and reporting. Prepare data and report summaries related to both coaching activities and program outcomes for assessment purposes.
We are looking for team members that have a collaborative and outward facing mindset, ready to contribute to the larger student success work on our campus.
Academic Coaches will also need to:
Support the development of tools and resources for internal program needs and outward facing workshops and presentations to grow greater campus-wide experience with our Academic Success Tools and the principles of academic coaching.
