Job Description

Reporting to the Managing Director for Residential Well-being and Inclusion and an Assistant Director in an ExperienceVT area, the Coordinator for ExperienceVT champions a welcoming, inclusive, and holistic experience for residential students that prioritizes student engagement and success. With a focus on the Aspirations for Student Learning and the Principles of Community, the Coordinator for ExperienceVT connects students to relationships and campus involvement to ensure that each student creates an intentional, customized experience at Virginia Tech.

The Coordinator is responsible for fostering student engagement through the creation of a data-driven, inclusive, and team-based community engagement plan to support individual residential students and the entire residential community. Through this plan, the Coordinator brings together students, events, organizations, living-learning programs, mentoring, and programs that supports students’ well-being and enables every student to ExperienceVT by identifying their strengths, clarifying their goals, creating pathways, and cultivating agency.

The Coordinator for ExperienceVT serves on a strong multidisciplinary team of colleagues from across Student Affairs, which is convened regularly by the Managing Director for Residential Well-being and Inclusion to cultivate a rich experiential foundation for students’ success that offers a deep sense of community and belonging for every student. These colleagues include other Coordinators for ExperienceVT, a Coordinator for Well-being, a Coordinator for Case Management and Administration, an embedded counselor from Cook Counseling, and a faculty/staff coach. Working with this team and others, the Coordinator fosters a cohesive, holistic, and supportive residential experience. In addition, the Coordinator builds relationships with campus partners and identifies opportunities to bring programs, activities, and resources into the residential community, as well as opportunities to take residential students to outside events. The Coordinator also provides student support through mentoring, referral to resources, incident response, on-call duties, and other duties, as assigned.

The Coordinator for ExperienceVT also leads a team of approximately 13 diverse student leaders for ExperienceVT who live in the residence halls and ensure that every student is engaged at the optimal level. The Coordinator engages regularly with these student leaders through training and supervision to ensure that residential students receive high-level programming, connection to resources, and exemplary service. In addition, the Coordinator mentors student leaders to identify personal and professional growth opportunities and resources to support their individual well-being and success.
