Winter Orientation Advising Opportunity

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 12:08:36 -0500

The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Winter Orientation Advisors! COVID hasn’t slowed us down at all, and Orientation is proceeding as usual – except 100% online. Advisors use Webex to meet with incoming students one-on-one to plan out and register for classes. No previous experience is required, and we will provide all training necessary!

Besides compensation, this is a rare chance to gain advising experience – highly sought-after in faculty openings – as well as to interact with students outside of the classroom. As a faculty member myself, I can absolutely say that my teaching effectiveness has been augmented by my advising experience.

Part-time faculty are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $25 per advising session, with most Orientation days having opportunities for approximately four sessions.

More details are provided in the application attached, which is due HERE by December 2, 2020. We will also be hosting a number of informational sessions for those who may be interested:

- Thursday , November 12, 12-1 PM
- Monday, November 16, 12-1 PM
- Friday, November 20, 12-1 PM
