This recruitment will be used to fill four part-time (a maximum of 24 hours per week) Academic Coach positions for the Academic Success Center (ASC) at Oregon State University (OSU).

At the Academic Success Center (ASC), we believe in each student's ability to set goals and decide their best path towards achieving those goals. The ASC includes a number of programs and offerings, including drop-in support (Strategist program), Academic Coaching, Supplemental Instruction (group study tables), workshops, ALS 116: Academic Success (2-credit course), and our online Learning Corner.

We encourage Black, Indigenous, people of color, people with disabilities, and people with non-dominant gender identities who may not believe they meet all of the described qualifications to consider what they contribute to the OSU community, and apply.

Academic Coaches do not provide tutoring or content-specific academic support. Rather, Academic Coaches support fellow OSU students in developing their own plans to work holistically towards their broader academic goals (time management, study skills, etc.). This happens in scheduled, 45-minute coaching sessions in-person and over Zoom. In those sessions, Academic Coaches use our coaching model to:

• actively listen to understand
• offer care, clarity, and non-judgment
• celebrate and highlight insights, ideas, and plans
• support creating plans to work towards goals
• offer resources and strategies
• …and more!

Appointments happen in the Academic Success Center's coaching space, next to our drop-in space in Waldo 125. Most Academic Coaches work 7 hours per week. Regular shifts and on-the-job training start fall 2024. (Initial paid training will be offered in late spring 2024 and over the summer.) Successful candidates are expected work as Academic Coaches for at least the 2024-2025 academic year.

Support and Compensation

• Successful candidates can expect:

• In-depth training (experiential and theoretical) on our coaching model, academic strategies, and OSU resources.

• To gain transferable skills in one-on-one facilitation and communication.

• Opportunities to grow professionally and collaborate.

• Some flexibility around, and tools for, balancing schoolwork, employment, and well-being.

• Wages starting at $15.15 per hour, with annual pay increases.
