Job Description

When was the last time you changed the world? In Virginia Tech's Division of Student Affairs, that's what we're doing every day-guiding, nurturing, and supporting students as they learn and grow into the leaders and world-changers of today and tomorrow.

We're searching for a Residential College Program Coordinator to join the Living-Learning Programs team in Blacksburg, VA to help us in our mission.

This person cultivates relationships among faculty and students to ensure students are engaged, supported, and thriving.

Virginia Tech is home to three residential colleges: the Honors Residential Commons, Leadership and Social Change Residential College, and Residential College at West Ambler Johnston. In Fall 2021, we opened the Creativity & Innovation District Living Learning Community, which merges elements of the residential college and living-learning community models - a first of its kind nationally. Our current openings are for the Leadership and Social Change Residential College and the Creativity and Innovation District

This will include some evening or weekend responsibilities. Other duties may include direct collaboration to achieve the vision, mission, and strategic goals of Living-Learning Programs.

4) You'll have the chance to grow and take advantage of a developmental plan with opportunities to advance within the Department and the Division.
