Student Development Advisor

A typical week tends to mix individual advising appointments, group programming or workshops, leadership development activities, and the operational work of running student development initiatives. You'll often work with students at decision points — choosing majors, considering leadership opportunities, planning post-graduation steps. Knowledge of campus resources across multiple offices matters significantly.

Coordination involves academic advising offices, student affairs colleagues, residence life, career services, faculty, and student leaders themselves. Programming work — workshops, retreats, student organization advising — is often part of the role and varies the rhythm from pure advising.

People who tend to thrive here are personable, organized, and energized by helping students grow beyond just academics. If you need quiet focused work or strategic decision-making, the relational and programming-heavy rhythm can feel scattered. If you find satisfaction in shaping students' overall college experience and the broader development that complements coursework, the work tends to feel meaningfully impactful at scale.
