| Description of Work | The William H. Thompson Scholars (WHT) Learning Community provides academic and life skills support to recipients of the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Grounded in the Ecology of Validation model, scholars are given opportunities to connect closely with staff, faculty, and peers through a sequence of shared academic courses, learning community activities, and advising. WHT is an energetic and student success focused environment, with Program Coordinators primarily focusing on providing support through individualized meetings with program scholars throughout the academic year. Working collaboratively with program staff to uphold the mission and core values of the WHT program, a Program Coordinator utilizes a holistic approach to support scholars in academics, personal wellness, social development, and professional development. Program Coordinators oversee individualized academic probation programming, connecting closely with at-promise scholars. Staff are responsible for teaching several sections of a first-year seminar course during the fall term and assist with the training and supervision of a peer mentor team. In addition to student support duties, Program Coordinators are assigned leadership responsibilities in areas such as: program diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, social engagement, event planning, housing, study cafe, tutoring services, and education abroad. Administrative experience with maintaining databases is preferred. Peer mentors have mobile accessibility outside of the normal working hours and community programming occasionally require night or weekend obligations. The University of Nebraska does not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, and/or political affiliation in its programs, activities, or employment.
