You’ll work on a variety of projects for internal audiences, responding to briefs with socially engaging and impactful designs that communicate effectively through multi-channel platforms.
• Lead Student Engagement: Foster a sense of trust, inclusion, and belonging among students by creating and leading engagement activities. These activities, including student clubs, creative projects, and collaborative initiatives, will help students gain new experiences, build connections, and contribute to a positive college culture.
• Empower Future Students: Through creative community engagement, inspire and empower potential students, especially those from marginalized or vulnerable backgrounds, to feel confident in their ability to pursue higher education. Your work will play a key role in making our college an inclusive and welcoming space for all.
• Collaborate for Impact: Work closely with marketing and other internal teams to develop compelling external content that reflects our position as an inclusive and anti-racist institution.
