Thrive@Carolina Campus Hubs (Hubs), which includes Academic Advising, a collaborative and innovative approach to deliver holistic support to undergraduates from admission through graduation. We represent a deliberately integrated effort that embraces delivering services in a manner that welcomes experimentation, is scalable and focuses on continuous improvement. Our mission is to champion students’ individual stories through purposeful interactions so that they achieve their academic, personal, and post-UNC goals. Anchored in the belief that we serve a diverse population in which every student does not need the same support or know the same information, Hubs seek to partner with students as they unlock their potential, activate their plans, secure their opportunities, and cultivate their community. Nestled within the College of Arts & Sciences, Hubs are comprised of ~60 full- and part-time personnel and serve students in a variety of campus locations.

Hub staff are expected to bring positive energy and a collaborative mindset to their everyday work, partnering with campus staff, faculty and one another to ensure all students thrive. Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others. The incumbent will have a strong commitment to the Liberal Arts, demonstrated experience utilizing an intersectional framework to support students holistically, and capable of leading a team of engaged employees to affect positive change through innovative systems. This is a 12-month, full-time, permanent, EHRA Non-Faculty position which will require some evening hours and may have non-standard work hours.
