PURPOSE:

The College of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering (NSME) develops and implements grant-funded initiatives that strengthen STEM education, workforce development, and regional partnerships across K-12 schools, community colleges, industry, and university programs. These initiatives increase student access, persistence, experiential learning, transfer success, and career readiness while supporting California's workforce priorities.

Under the general supervision of the Director of Grants and Outreach, the NSME Outreach Coordinator plans, develops, coordinates, and evaluates outreach, and serves as the primary liaison among K-12 districts, community colleges, university faculty, industry partners, government agencies, and community organizations to expand STEM pathways, coordinate outreach and recruitment activities, facilitate transfer partnerships, and support implementation of grant objectives.

• Plan and coordinate STEM outreach events serving K-12 students, community college students, teachers, families, and community partners.

• Organize workshops, summer programs, STEM Days, Roadrunner Science Fridays, Healthcare Career Nights, Engineering Day, and similar initiatives for K–12 students, community college students, teachers, families, and community partners. Monitor planning deadlines, confirm participation by presenters and partners, and resolve routine scheduling and logistical issues.
• Recruit participants for grant-funded programs.
• Coordinate participation of peer mentors and student ambassadors by communicating program expectations, arranging orientation or training, scheduling assignments, providing outreach materials, monitoring completion of assigned activities, and referring performance or conduct concerns to the appropriate supervisor.
• Develop outreach materials and communication strategies. Tailor information to the intended audience, coordinate required reviews and approvals, and verify that published information is accurate and current.
