Academic Support Program Coordinator

The University of Virginia seeks applications for an Academic Support Program Coordinator to work as part of the STEM Support Services team. Our mission is to support students’ learning in gateway courses so that they are well-positioned to pursue STEM-related majors and post-graduation goals. More broadly, we aim to contribute to a collaborative, positive learning environment for students pursuing these goals. Our programs include Peer Led Learning (P2L), which is a supplemental-instruction style, collaborative group program, as well as Peer Academic Coaching (one-on-one, by-appointment support) and the Math Collaborative Learning Center (drop-in support for math courses), and our scope includes lower-division courses across biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

We are seeking a detail-oriented, collaborative, and self-starting team member who can coordinate day-to-day operations of one-on-one tutoring and group academic support programs. Our approach to our program offerings is to work closely with faculty to align services with their courses; consider on an ongoing basis whether we are meeting students’ needs; and to adapt and plan for the future. Thus, it is important that this team member be adaptable, comfortable with change, and dedicated to continuous improvement. Specific duties include but are not limited to: reviewing peer coaches’ session plans; support for delivery of group and one-on-one training; maintaining our online appointment/attendance system; contributing to assessment; communicating with peer coaches; responding to emailed questions from students and faculty; scheduling rooms and sessions; reviewing timecards; helping with recruitment and hiring.
