Responsibilities will include teaching the University Student Success Course ( UNIV 1000, 1004, or 1007 as needed), being accessible to students, providing support for University retention initiatives and working with other members of the Office of the Provost, the Experiential Education & Engagement Center, and the University Honors Program in supporting learning communities and experiential learning initiatives.
