Program Assistant V, Office of Community Living

Reporting directly to the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Community Living, the Program Assistant serves as a key member of the Office of Community Living team by providing administrative, operational, programmatic, and student support services across multiple functional areas, including Residence Life, Off-Campus Living, the Food Pantry and Basic Needs initiatives, Health Promotion Services, and Student Conduct. The Program Assistant coordinates a wide range of projects and services that support student success, belonging, and well-being. Responsibilities include managing departmental operations, budgets, websites, communications, assessment data, and administrative processes while serving as a primary resource for students, families, faculty, staff, and community partners.
