• Maintain basic organization of photos, videos, and marketing assets
• Track student feedback, questions, and content ideas
• Provide regular updates on student conversations, marketing opportunities, and content progress
• Help prepare simple updates for monthly check-ins or marketing meetings

• Current University of Portland student, preferably Class of 2028 or later
