Description

Student Experience Coordinator, Access and Inclusion Support

Full Time Support Staff (12-month contract)

Reporting to the AVP, Students, the Student Experience Coordinator, Access and Inclusion is responsible for the implementation of student success and retention programming, including outreach, transition and retention programming directed to students demographically at risk of attrition and students who are the first in their family to attend post-secondary education.

Specifically, this position will work to increase post-secondary education participation and retention among individuals identified as likely to experience greater difficulty accessing post-secondary education: first-generation, rural, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+ new Canadians, people with disabilities, crown wards and fostered/CAS-supported youth individuals with lower high school GPAs or those returning to education.

This position provides outreach to potential students who may not consider post-secondary education to be an option.

The position will work closely with guidance counsellors, teachers, community groups and individuals to identify potential students who have been marginalized, and to help increase participation rates among under-represented groups.

Based on established research regarding co-curricular life in higher education, student development and leadership theory and practice, and on a thorough understanding and practice of democratic principles, the Coordinator will develop and implement initiatives that foster civic responsibility and community involvement in support of the University's strategic goal of enhancing the student experience.

The Coordinator will execute these duties through reviewing, collecting, and evaluating data, collaboration with staff and faculty across the campus community, creating innovative programming/services for students, and meeting individually and as groups with students.

Nipissing University will provide accommodation to ensure barrier-free employment in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

You can request accommodation at any stage of the hiring process. If you require an accommodation, please contact Human Resources.
