What is a Site Coordinator?

Because the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB Program operates far away from where students live, the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB Directors cannot provide consistent in-person services for all SMµ÷½ÌËùUB participants beyond school visits each semester. It is vital that we have program representatives who are easily accessible to our participants for year-round, in-person support, to answer questions, offer guidance, and help students feel connected with the program.

This is where the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB site coordinators come in.

A SMµ÷½ÌËùUB Site Coordinator is a faculty/staff member at one of our partner schools or a community volunteer from the target area. SMµ÷½ÌËùUB's site coordinators serve as the primary liaisons between the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB program and the communities and schools within the target area throughout the academic year. Site coordinators help monitor SMµ÷½ÌËùUB student progress during the school year, help connect them with resources and implement SMµ÷½ÌËùUB's academic year services for students and families.

  • Recruiting new eligible students and helping them with the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB application process

  • Administering student needs assessments for SMµ÷½ÌËùUB Program efficacy
  • Promoting and increasing awareness of the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB Program within the community
  • Helping students with their OnTrack homework assignment completion
  • Conducting meetings with students on a weekly basis regarding high school academic progress, college/career counseling, and more
  • Sending accademic transcripts of each participant to the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB office bi-annually
  • Assisting students, when necessary, with travel arrangements to/from the SMµ÷½ÌËùUB summer academic institute
  • Maintaining effective communication between the student, student's families and SMµ÷½ÌËùUB program's staff
