JOB SUMMARY

The College of Engineering at the University of Connecticut is seeking a full-time, professional staff Academic Advisor 2 at the Storrs campus. Academic advising is mandatory for every student, every semester, and the timely monitoring of degree progress is critical for the College of Engineering’s ABET accreditation. The modality of this position is hybrid, with significant on-campus expectations and limited opportunities for remote work.

This advisor would join a dynamic team of professional academic advisors, higher education and student development professionals, in the Engineering Undergraduate Center. Professional academic advisors primarily assist first- and second-year engineering students in registering for their foundational coursework, determining a preliminary plan of study, understanding and interpreting academic policies, and navigating the nuances of their transition to the college experience. Additionally, the advisor supports students in developing appropriate educational and career goals and provides administrative oversight for the coordination and implementation of programs intended to increase student retention and academic success.

This position will report to an Associate Director for the Undergraduate Program and will serve one or more academic departments within the College of Engineering with a caseload of 250-350 students. In addition to advising current engineering students, the Academic Advisor will communicate with faculty advisors, administrators, and other campus partners to ensure a high level of student support and success.

The College of Engineering seeks a highly independent and team-oriented advisor, with creative ideas about student support and development, to fill this Academic Advisor role.
