What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Class Deans Assistant position at Central College?
Description
Each incoming class of students works with an academic success dean during their time as Central students. An academic success dean is the “go-to” person for academic advisors, coaches, or anyone on campus who has questions or concerns about any student.

Academic success deans mentor students academically; provide academic counseling to students who are considering post-graduate work or changes to their academic programs; guide students through decisions about their majors; coordinate with Student Support Services, the Director of Writing, and Tutoring Coordinator to provide academic resources to students; work with professors regarding students’ extended absences or other special circumstances; and answer questions for students who don’t know whom they should seek for help.
