Document, track, and maintain accurate records of all student interactions in ASAP and college student information systems, making referrals to appropriate campus resources and services as needed. Generate and analyze student contact reports and outreach data to identify students requiring follow-up and ensure compliance with required communication frequency and engagement standards. Conduct workshops, presentations, and group advisement sessions on academic success, transfer planning, career development, financial literacy, and other topics relevant to student needs. Collaborate with faculty, staff, and campus offices to coordinate services that support student retention, engagement, and completion. Assist with student recruitment, registration, orientation, and other program-related activities and events. Support the implementation of ASAP initiatives and participate in special projects and campus-wide student success efforts. Perform related duties as assigned.
