GEO Student Success Coordinator

About the Opportunity

The N.U.in Program is a unique opportunity for first-year students accepted for Spring Admission to Northeastern University. N.U.in is a pre-matriculation program that provides a credit-bearing opportunity for incoming first-year students. Students study at one of our N.U.in partner institutions during the Fall semester and enter Northeastern University in the Spring. Partner universities provide academic courses to the participants while N.U.in staff provide on-site leadership and support services.

We are hiring several GEO Student Success Coordinator positions for each N.U.in program location, also referred to as 'on-site staff'. The N.U.in on-site staff support the physical, emotional, social, and academic needs of first-year students. In addition to supporting staff at the host institution, these staff members focus on creating positive and valuable experiential learning. Students are supported in their academic coursework, host city navigation, and student residences. Coordinators work in staff teams and are supervised by an on-site professional staff member. Site staff enthusiastically embody the mission and values of the N.U.in Program and Northeastern University while working and living in close proximity to first-year students.

This position is a short-term commitment with full workdays internationally for the Fall 2022 semester (dates vary by location). This on-site position also requires attendance during a mandatory training period beginning June 2022. This is an in-person position that requires site staff to live in student accommodation with students during the Fall 2022 semester which runs from August - December 2022.

The GEO Student Success Coordinators are responsible for supporting facets of the N.U.in Program for one of our N.U.in locations.

Position responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Coordinate student programs and excursions. These programs can be during the day, in the evenings, and/or on the weekends
  
• Mentor first-year students who are not only entering college for the first time, but could also studying away from home

• Monitor student behavioral policies and protocols, upholding a high standard of student conduct
  
• Maintain the safety and well-being of the participants by serving in a 24/7 on-call rotation and conducting regular rounds of student residences
  

GEO Student Success Coordinators will work collaboratively to ensure students' safety and well-being and contribute to the development and overall success of the program. Responsibilities may vary based on site placement.
