    Position Summary

    This position fills ongoing openings in one or more of six flight paths within Tykeson College and Career Advising.

    At the University of Oregon, Academic and Career Advisors collaborate with students to help them achieve their personal goals, academic potential, and professional success. Our coordinated approach to advising strives to be student-centered, caring, holistic, inclusive, and culturally aware.

    Under the direction of the College and Career Advising Director, Advisors in Tykeson Hall will provide integrated academic and career advising, services, and activities to assist students with academic and/or career planning. Advisors specialize in one of six thematic collections of majors called “Flight Paths” which are designed to better advise and communicate to students the many academic and career paths available at the University of Oregon.

    Tykeson Advisors are cross-trained to advise students who are at various stages in their academic journey from an integrated First-Year experience to major and career exploration and selection. Advisors are focused on ensuring student success, equitable access to resources, retention, and completion. Advisors use tools and resources to gain general knowledge of UO majors. Each advisor also specializes in a Flight Path and its associated majors and careers in order to better counsel students and provide information about the many academic and professional options that are consistent with their interests, abilities, and values.

    Advisors will help students develop academic and career plans and goals, and leverage available resources to achieve academic success. They work in a fast-paced, drop-in, and appointment-based office setting delivering advising services on a year-round basis in both one-on-one and group settings.

    Advisors must be able to work with first-generation, low-income, minoritized, underrepresented, international, and transfer students. They must be skilled in addressing the needs of re-entry students, students in crisis, and students experiencing scholastic difficulty.

    Advisors must work collaboratively and foster a welcoming, inclusive, accessible, and professional atmosphere in the office. This person must exhibit cultural humility and agility with the ability and commitment to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
