The two Academic Program Managers will engage in three key areas of work related to academic support programming for visiting and matriculated Summer Session students: curriculum development, program management, and academic advising. They will develop programming and curricula for the Summer Academic Resource Center (SARC), which houses academic advising, subject area tutoring, and language conversation partners. They will be supervised and trained by the Assistant Director of Academic Programs and will work with their supervisor to reflect on their career trajectory and develop skills and resources for the job search. Program Managers will gain valuable work experience and learn more about the landscape of careers in higher education.

In addition to holding regular drop-in tutoring sessions, tutors design, promote, and implement academic skills workshops. Depending on tutor qualifications, some tutors work as both subject area tutors and foreign language conversation partners. Tutors serve as academic role models for students.

-

Designing, promoting, and implementing academic skills workshops
-
Serving as academic role models for students
