Position Summary/Purpose of Position:

The Senior Coordinator of Student Transition will provide individual assistance within the enrollment and the transition to college to first-year UMD students through communication and interaction with campus constituents tasked with provision of service to entering students (e.g. orientation, resident life, office of student financial aid, advising offices, academic departments, Academic Achievement Programs, OMSE, the health center, etc.).

The Senior Coordinator will primarily provide support and guidance to enrolling students from areas in the Maryland state with low college going populations who are not familiar with the college experience and who may be intimidated by the size, complexity, and unfamiliarity of UMD.

Initially this focus will be in Baltimore City and Prince Georges County.

With the ultimate goal of assisting students in their transition to UMD, the Senior Coordinator will support recruitment, outreach, and yield efforts in designated in-state territories in order to establish, maintain, and support relationships between prospective students and parents, and the university.
