  Department Summary
  It is the mission of Student Orientation Programs to introduce new and prospective students and their families to the university's intellectual climate. In addition, we seek to improve the quality of the new student experience by providing assistance with academic, personal, and social adjustment to the university, demonstrating the University of Oregon's commitment to teaching, learning, and scholarship. Through recruitment programs such as the Ambassador Program, Duck Preview, Duck Days, and orientation events such as IntroDUCKtion and Week of Welcome, Student Orientation Programs serve approximately 70,000 visitors, prospective students, new students, and families.
  
  Position Summary
  The Coordinator for Pre-College Visit Programs serves as a member of the Student Orientation Programs team and is essential to the long-term recruitment and yield of new undergraduate students to the University of Oregon. Additionally, the coordinator is essential to the ongoing successful recruitment, selection, training, and supervision of the Ambassador-Multicultural Recruiters (MCRs). Like all full-time staff on the campus visits team, the Coordinator independently develops and implements programs, events, and training initiatives to meet the University's recruitment goals.
  
  This position has a significant impact on the achievement of the university's recruitment goals because of its focus on the development of long-term on- and off-campus pipeline programs, for grades 6-12, that serve first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students. Using strategic enrollment management strategies, the successful candidate will partner with area schools and community-based organizations in the development of new mentorship initiatives that include university advocates, volunteers, and student staff.
  
  Also critical to the success of our efforts, the selection, training, and evaluation of student staff and volunteers who will staff the on- and off-campus programs and events coordinated by the successful candidate. The Coordinator collaborates with campus partners and community stakeholders to ensure the messages, facts, and information about university programs and services is accurate and that the university's stories are shared in an effective way during the campus visit.
  
  The position requires a significant level of independent judgment and autonomy in regards to work planning; selection and training student staff and volunteer mentors; presenting the university to tens of thousands of prospective student and community constituents, families, and campus organizations; and application of university student employment policies. The Coordinator will directly supervise 30+ MCRs as well as some supervision of the daily operation of visits for all 80+ student Ambassadors. Secondary responsibilities include additional travel on behalf of the university and other duties as assigned.
