• Maintain regular and substantive interaction with students through classroom instruction, scheduled office hours, academic advising, and other approved communication methods.
• Provide academic advising and mentoring to students regarding degree requirements, academic progress, and career preparation.
• Participate in curriculum development, program assessment, accreditation activities, and continuous improvement initiatives within the School.
• Collaborate with faculty members to review curriculum, assess student learning outcomes, and support academic program effectiveness.
• Serve on departmental, college, and University committees as assigned.
