Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a student support program that

educational or linguistic barriers. Through comprehensive academic and support counseling, financial aid and access to other support
services, students are able to overcome challenges, barriers and achieve their educational and career goals. EOPS students who are single
parents receiving public assistance can also access Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education (CARE). The CARE program offers additional
support services so students can transition from welfare dependency by securing the education, training, and marketable skills needed for
self-sufficiency and upward social mobility. NextUp is also a program within EOPS intended to provide additional academic and personal
support to current and former foster youth.
This is a full-time, tenure track, general funded, contract position. The work year
