Description

The College Liaison serves as an intermediary between Halifax Community College and Halifax County Early College, and is focused on strengthening student performance and expanding students prospects to include postsecondary educational opportunities and career goals. Through this partnership, the students are able to earn college credits toward their associate degree while earning a high school diploma. As part of this educational experience, the Liaison works with the college faculty and staff to develop non-credit bearing programs and events to support this goal. Working together with the college and school personnel, the Liaison seeks to maintain and develop collaborations that serve to better prepare students for college and careers while nurturing mutual learning among the faculty, staff, and students at the partnering institutions. The College Liaison is influential in facilitating students progress and success by guaranteeing that appropriate collaborative support mechanisms are in place, so it is highly recommended that this person have experience working with both high school students and adults (i.e. professors, teachers, parents and school leadership). The ability to develop and communicate with these interpersonal relationships needs to be combined with strong organizational skills around the various administrative responsibilities.
