General Summary:
The UMass Boston (UMB) Early College Initiative is a core commitment of the university’s vision and mission in service of developing reciprocal community-based partnerships, expanding access to higher education for historically and currently underserved students, and advancing equitable student outcomes. The Early College program partners with high schools to co-construct a pathway for Boston Public School students to and through college that engage students in culturally sustaining curriculum, exposes them to academic and career opportunities, and accelerates progress towards baccalaureate degree and fulfilling careers. The Early College program also features holistic integrated student support services and improved curriculum alignment between UMB and its partnering high schools. Early College lowers the cost of college and reduces barriers to enrollment and completion, ultimately supporting students to experience increased levels of success in college and beyond.
The Academic Success Coach works with Early College students, potential and enrolled, using asset-based educational, cultural, and linguistic frameworks, to provide support to students from their initial transition to the program, through graduation. The Academic Success Coach will also provide support to Early College graduates who transition and enroll at UMass Boston, and will ensure high-quality, comprehensive advising sessions through educational approaches that promote equity, transformational practice, and academic literacies to guarantee the successful retention of the students served. Responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to, working with a specific caseload of students to assist them in navigating academic and non-academic issues as well as connecting them to other appropriate resources and services on campus or at their high school. The Academic Success Coach will work closely with the Senior Director of Programs and Partnerships to develop holistic supports and curriculum for participants and evaluate the success of the program towards the goal of continuous improvement.
