Overview
Reporting to the assistant dean of undergraduate students, the program coordinator will play a central role supporting the work of the 58 student arts organizations registered with the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students (ODUS), as well as individual student artists using ODUS-managed resources such as the recording studio, the video production studio, and digital editing suites, to produce artistic work on campus. The coordinator will serve as the primary administrative point for all activity, both from groups and individual students, in the recording studio, video production student, and digital editing suites opened in the 2018-2019 academic year. The program coordinator will develop and implement policies for these new campus resources, and hire and supervise students who work in these spaces. Working collaboratively with colleagues from across campus to support the mission and function of student-directed arts on campus, the program coordinator creates leadership development opportunities for students while ensuring fiscal stewardship, policy compliance, best practices, and a high-level service to the University community. The coordinator will serve as a conduit between student arts organizations and various University departments, including the Lewis Center for the Arts, the Music Department, McCarter Theater, and Event and Venue Support Services. In anticipation of the new academic calendar and the creation of a Wintersession program for the University community, the program coordinator will serve as the administrative point in ODUS for all Wintersession work, both logistical and programmatic, as it relates to student organizations registered with ODUS.
