The Center for Student Success and Engagement of the College of Arts & Sciences at Kansas State University has an opening for an academic advisor. We seek dedicated student-centered individuals to help prepare students for success by connecting them with educational experiences tailored to their specific goals and needs. The Center’s advising team supports both the interdisciplinary programs housed in the College (humanities, life science, social science, physical science, medical lab science) as well as the University’s open option (undeclared) program and general support for advising of academic programs across the College. The successful candidate will demonstrate patience, enthusiasm, and a sincere desire to assist students with appropriate course selection and development of academic and career goals while supporting student development in self-understanding and agency. It is expected that advisors will not only be committed to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion in order to build inclusive relationships with students and colleagues but that they will possess extensive knowledge about the university academic programs, policies, procedures and student support services. Organizational and communication skills, timeliness, cooperation and collaboration in a team environment are essential. Salary is commensurate with experience.
