EOP provides students with the resources, tools and skills to ensure academic and personal success through a variety of academic support services.
The Associate Director is responsible for leading and supervising EOP staff and coordinating programming to support the holistic success of students.

In addition, the incumbent will devise strategies to ensure direct robust and effective services to support first-generation, low-income, underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students by reviewing budgets, assessing programs, and working with staff in project development and coordination. In the absence of the Director for College Support Programs the EOP Associate Director reports directly to the Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Services to receive general work direction and assignments for the EOP area.
