You may be a strong fit if you:

• Take pride in accuracy, follow-through, and meeting deadlines.

• Value teamwork and understand how dependable behind-the-scenes work contributes to student success.
• Can hold yourself and others accountable for completing required information and meeting established expectations.
• Want to work in a collaborative environment where your contributions are visible and valued.
