University of California Los Angeles
Requisition Number: 39258
Salary: $4,317 – $9,067 Monthly
Position Description:
Housed in the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), Undergraduate Education Initiatives (UEI) collaborates with faculty and departments across campus to develop innovative, multidisciplinary academic programs for UCLA’s 31,000 undergraduates. UEI is home to the Interdepartmental Degree Program (IDP) in Disability Studies with both a B.A. and minor in Disability Studies and freestanding minors in Community Engagement and Social Change minor, Food Studies, and Social Thought.
With limited direction from the Academic Coordinator for UEI and Department Chairs, the Student Academic Advisor plans, develops, implements and manages student advising and affairs activities, including counseling, curriculum, and academic planning services for the Disability Studies IDP and the freestanding minors. Responsibilities include: (1) Advise the approximately 250 undergraduate majors/minors on policy, procedure and degree requirements, and counseling prospective undergraduate students new first-years and transfers about the major and 4 minors. (2) Direct all related student advisory functions, such as program promotion and summer student orientation, course scheduling and degree auditing. (3) Develop and maintain student involvement in extracurricular activities related to the programs, including outreach and community building efforts with undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, departments, and alumni. (4) In addition to advising majors/minors, the Student Advisor will also manage the approximately 700+ students enrolled in the unit’s course offerings annually. (5) Responsible for planning departmental public events, such as speaker events and receptions, commencement activities, undergraduate and graduate new student orientations and events, and award ceremonies.
The Student Academic Advisor (SAA) provides instructional planning and administrative support to UEI’s interdisciplinary major and minors. This multifaceted work involves supporting the four Chairs and their respective Faculty Advisory Committees (FACs) overseeing the major and minors, faculty from across campus, and UEI directors. The SAA is the primary liaison between students in the programs and the interdisciplinary faculty thus ensuring the academic interests of the students and faculty are represented by both constituents. The incumbent will also serve as a resource to the Assistant Dean of UEI, program Chairs, and UEI Directors, as well as to the FACs by providing statistics and reports, advising on policies and regulations and making program recommendations.
