This is a role where you will have the opportunity to develop your project management and delivery skills, working with senior colleagues in Colleges across both University campuses to deliver University wide student experience projects such as Welcome and Orientation, College Sports and our peer support functions (College Life Advisors, Mentors and Student Connect.
