Each SOC is assigned a caseload of student groups, organized by activity, that they assist over the course of the academic year. Which kinds of groups an SOC is assigned will depend on the consultant’s previous experience, skills, personal preference, and the office’s needs. In addition to serving as the main contact for their student organizations, consultants will also work on projects defined by the Assistant Director of Student Affairs, with the goal of creating a robust support system for student organizations.
Consultants should be highly organized, self-directing, great communicators, and consistently proactive. They should be eager to collaborate with a wide range of personalities.
