Coordinate workshops, networking events, speaker series, service opportunities, and leadership experiences aligned with MoCA learning outcomes. Support initiatives that strengthen pathways from high school through college completion and beyond. Promote civic engagement and meaningful community partnerships that enhance student learning and leadership. Develop and implement communication strategies that clearly communicate program expectations, opportunities, and resources to students and stakeholders. Oversee program marketing, website content, social media, annual reports, and other communications that highlight student success and program impact.
