Maintain the department master events calendar and proactively flag scheduling conflicts. Prepare event materials, briefing documents, and printed programs; arrange accommodations and itineraries for visiting speakers, faculty candidates, and distinguished guests, and collect receipts/documentation to route for reimbursement processing.**Academic Operations Support**Provide administrative support for graduate and undergraduate programs and departmental academic committees, including scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, and taking and distributing minutes. Support course scheduling logistics and catalog/curriculum documentation updates. Assist with gathering and organizing data to support accreditation and program review efforts.
