• Create and deliver workshops and information sessions—both virtual and in-person—on topics such as degree completion, adult student success, and transfer credit policies.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to maintain up-to-date transfer guides, articulation resources, and adult learner onboarding tools.

• Demonstrated experience working with or recruiting from North Carolina Community Colleges is strongly preferred.
• In-depth knowledge of transfer processes, articulation agreements (especially the North Carolina Comprehensive Agreement), and credit evaluation practices.
• Ability to travel across North Carolina and represent the university in a professional, student-centered manner.
