You will manage daily correspondence, organize impactful admissions experiences, and sustain precise applicant tracking that supports informed decision-making.

• Proven administrative and organizational capabilities; you are dependable and precise
• High attention to detail and demonstrated experience keeping applicant records or CRM data accurate
• Comfortable managing both remote responsibilities and in-person campus duties
• Capable of adapting swiftly and excelling in a fast-paced, mission-oriented environment
