The Assistant Director of Admissions is responsible for supporting the Admissions Office’s goals in identifying, attracting and enrolling an academically talented and diverse student body. The Assistant Director acts as the College’s representative for all aspects of the admissions operation both on and off-campus, and plays a number of key support and organizational roles related to all aspects of the work. Specific duties will include but not be limited to: recruitment and outreach, territory management, evaluating applications and participating in selection committee, yield activities, and data analysis.
This is a full time, benefits eligible, salaried position with a hiring range of $63,009 - $70,888 per year.
Although the Assistant Director role is usually an in-office position, working remotely could be a possibility for the right experienced candidate if that candidate resides in an area where the Admissions office would like to have a greater physical presence.

Coordinate key programs or activities in the office, which may include: tour guides, campus visit programs, communications work including social media, outreach with an access focus, data analysis, and/or the Alumni Admissions Program. Respond to a high volume of inquiries in a timely manner. Plan on-campus, regional, and virtual events that help to inform prospective students about the College and attract students to apply and, ultimately, to enroll. Collaborate frequently with other College offices including Student Life, Facilities, and Public Safety when planning events.
