Job Title:

PACT Accountability Partner (Work-Study Preferred)

Job Summary:

The PACT Program, a retention initiative under the Center for Academic and Student Achievement (CASA) at the University of San Francisco (USF), offers undergraduates an opportunity to engage in ongoing peer-to-peer mentoring with upper-level-students in their respective academic fields. Additionally, the PACT program strives to support historically disadvantaged student groups in their journey towards attaining a degree from USF. PACT aids mentees in fostering a sense of academic belonging, honing skill-based development, and accessing leadership opportunities at USF. Embedded in Stanford University's design thinking principles, PACT aims to cultivate an environment where Accountability Partners (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) and PACT Mentees (new incoming undergraduates) can establish a pact centered around four themes to optimize each other's potential to the fullest.
