Graduate
Assistant for LEAD/SOAR Student Success Programs |
The LEAD/SOAR Student Success Program is in need of a graduate assistant that will be able to assist in program planning.
General Information
• Hours per week: 19
• Pay per hour: $15
• Start timeframe: Fall 2018
About the Programs
The LEAD Summer Academy is a 5-week summer bridge program that requires students who have been conditionally admitted for the fall semester to begin attendance at UTSA in the second 5-week summer session preceding the start of the fall term. LEAD students are
enrolled in at least 6 college level hours, and are required to participate in additional programming that will help the student transition into the fall semester successfully, and with added confidence.
The SOAR Student Success Program aims at assisting first year freshmen that have fallen on academic warning, academic probation or are returning from their first academic dismissal. Programming consists of ensuring that students fully understand what their
academic status means, strategies on how to successfully clear their current status, along with understanding pertinent UTSA academic policies that are impactful to their current situation. By providing support, the goal is to help students reach academic
good standing as quickly as possible.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities may include assisting in the planning, organizing, and managing of program logistics. This may include organizing workshops and other student activities. Assisting with the tracking of program participants, oversight of peer mentors, and helping
with the assessment and evaluation of the program may be some of the tasks assigned to the LEAD/SOAR graduate assistant.
If interested in this opportunity, please contact Cynthia Rodriguez at <Cynthia.Rodriguez1@utsa.edu> or by phone at 210-458-4595.
