This involves aiding the team in organizing the exam proctoring process, referring students to the relevant offices/departments, participating in accessibility-related professional development, and planning meetings with relevant parties within and outside of NYUAD as advised by the Associate Director of the Program.

• The Coordinator role will support the Associate Director of Student Persistence and Accessibility in planning meaningful events for the students and participate in signature programs like new students’ orientation, resources fair, Student of Determination Social night, and Marhaba week, among other related events as needed.
