Collaborate with faculty and campus partners to identify at-risk students, coordinate support services, and implement proactive retention and student success initiatives.
Maintain accurate, timely, and objective documentation of student interactions, case activity, referrals, and action plans in Athena and Maxient, ensuring compliance with university policies and best practices.
Prepare reports, analyze student success data, and contribute to institutional assessment, continuous improvement, and retention efforts.
