• Develop relationships with families, schools, and universities to troubleshoot issues as they arise.

College Persistence & Postsecondary Success

• Maintain ongoing communication with alumni to support their transition into college.
• Track and analyze persistence indicators, including FAFSA renewal, enrollment verification, credit completion, academic standing, and financial aid status.
• Identify and troubleshoot common persistence barriers, including financial challenges, academic support needs, housing instability, and mental-health concerns—connecting students to appropriate campus or community resources.
• Facilitate summer melt prevention strategies, including outreach and support between high school graduation and college matriculation.
• Host virtual or in‑person alumni workshops on topics like navigating the first year of college, budgeting, time management, and self‑advocacy.
• Maintain strong relationships with college partners to improve student support and communication about students' progress and needs.
• Contribute to program evaluation efforts by maintaining accurate alumni data and producing monthly or quarterly reports on persistence outcomes.

Data & Tracking

• Maintain accurate records of student progress, applications, scholarships, and college enrollment outcomes.
• Maintain accurate data management to keep advising and student progress on track.
