    The College of Engineering (ENG) within Boston University (BU) is looking to hire an Academic Advisor to join the Undergraduate Programs Office. Academic advisors provide holistic academic advising, share information about degree requirements, support student services within ENG, and contribute to student success efforts. In general, advisors are responsible for assisting students with course selection, monitoring student performance, connecting them with appropriate academic support or enrichment opportunities, and maintaining advising records in accordance with University and legal regulations. Advisors also provide guidance on academic policies and procedures and connect students with relevant campus resources.

     

    + Holistic Academic Advising: Each academic advisor works with a caseload of approximately 250 undergraduate students, helping their advisees craft educational plans based on their aspirations, interests, and values. To support students in achieving their goals, advisors encourage academic exploration and engagement in experiential learning opportunities such as internships, research, and study abroad. Advisors regularly provide guidance on degree requirements and help students understand the purpose of those requirements. Advisors also explain the BU and ENG-specific academic policies and procedures. Advisors perform outreach and track student engagement to ensure that students utilize academic advising and other relevant resources on campus. As part of their role, academic advisors will need to develop expertise using MyBU, the University's Student Information System.

    + Student Services: Academic advisors are involved in various student services activities. Depending on the time of year, advisors may assist with incoming student orientation, support student groups or organizations, plan community events, facilitate our tutoring or peer mentor programs, and staff commencement activities. University and School/College Service: Academic advisors may serve the larger community through various University and ENG-specific committees. They may participate in advisor hiring, provide support to the advising community, or engage in other service activities. Advisors will engage in regular professional development and extended training opportunities.

    + Additional Duties: Other Duties related to student success, as assigned.
