Job Summary The Kessler Scholars Program is a cohort-based scholarship program for limited-income students who are among the first in their families to attend college for a four-year degree. The program operates within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) in the Division of Undergraduate Education and seeks a dynamic student affairs professional with strong communication and organizational skills to support first-generation, limited-income students as the Kessler Scholars Student Support Coordinator. The Kessler Scholars Program provides wraparound academic, professional, and personal support for roughly 160 students at the University of Michigan. The Student Support Coordinator will coordinate and execute key communication efforts for current and potential students and support the Director and Program Specialist with program planning, recruitment, tracking, and student support. Among other responsibilities, the Student Support Coordinator will produce the Kessler Scholars newsletter and other regular program correspondence with students; meet with students to support their overall growth; help coordinate space, food and other elements of programming; track student engagement and program feedback; coordinate reports and communication for tracking and student recruitment, and provide day-to-day administrative support for student leadership programs. About the Kessler Scholars Program The mission of the Kessler Scholars Program at the University of Michigan, College of LSA, is to assure that first-generation undergraduate students from lower-income households thrive as part of a connected, cohort-based community on campus. The Kessler Scholars Program combines scholarship awards with academic, professional, and personal support to help students navigate the University of Michigan with a clear sense of belonging and purpose across all four years of their undergraduate experience. With a focus on both student access and success for underrepresented students, the Kessler Scholars Program is helping to lead the College of LSA's commitment to building greater diversity, equity, and inclusion at the University of Michigan. Students in the Kessler Scholars Program receive financial support through the Irene and Morris B. Kessler Presidential Scholarship Fund, established in 2007 and made possible by a gift to the College from the Judy and Fred Wilpon Family Foundation. This gift created LSA's largest scholarship cohort, with 40 entering students each academic year and up to 160 students across all four years. The Kessler Scholars Program at Michigan is part of the 16-institution Kessler Scholars Collaborative, dedicated to creating better support for first-generation scholars in higher education.
