Successconnects Program Coordinator

The Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI) supports and celebrates students' unique experiences, backgrounds, communities, and identities. Through a variety of programs, events, and campus-wide collaborations, we provide holistic support to help students achieve their academic ambitions while developing the skills and perspectives necessary for success in college and beyond. These initiatives support U-M's ongoing commitment to nurturing an intellectually and culturally diverse campus.

This is accomplished through direct student service delivery that incorporates success coaching, peer mentorship, individual and student organization advising, student leadership development, and grant funding for student organizations and initiatives to promote academic and multicultural programming.

OAMI also leads key university-wide multicultural programs, including the Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium, the Native American Student Association Powwow, gateway services for first-generation and DACA/undocumented students, and the coordination of eight annual cultural graduation celebration ceremonies.

The Success Connects Program Coordinator serves as a key contributor to OAMI's Success Connect program by providing holistic, strengths-based support that promotes undergraduate student success, retention, and engagement. The position combines direct student success coaching with the coordination of academic support initiatives that help students successfully navigate the transition to the university and achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals.

Through individualized and group success coaching, the Program Coordinator empowers students to develop effective strategies for academic achievement, personal growth, leadership development, and career exploration while connecting them with university resources and opportunities that enhance their educational experience.

The position also coordinates the day-to-day implementation of the Success Connect tutoring initiative by providing coordination of the delivery of individualized academic support and a team of student tutors, monitoring the program component's operations to enhance the delivery of academic support services.
