About Talladega College
Talladega College, Alabama’s first private historically black liberal arts college, has been known for academic excellence for over 150 years. It is listed among the Princeton Review’s Best Colleges in the Southeast and U.S. News & World Report’s Best HBCUs and Top Performers on Social Mobility. Home to the world-renowned Amistad Murals and a championship-level marching band, Talladega provides a nurturing, historic environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities like the BCH Student Activity Center and the Dr. William R. Harvey Museum of Art.
Job Summary
As a member of the Division of Academic Affairs, the Academic Champion provides specialized, holistic academic advising and intensive case management for Freshman and Sophomore students. This role is uniquely split between two high-priority populations: Band students (navigating the rigors of performance and travel) and students in the N.A.D.O. Program (those admitted conditionally with high school GPAs below 2.0, or students currently on Academic Warning/Probation). The Academic Champion serves as a primary advocate, coach, and strategist, ensuring these students successfully transition to their junior year. This position is funded through Title III and reports to the Director of Student Success.
