Position Summary The program coordinator is responsible for supporting faculty in the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts (HSA) in their work as academic advisors and in their use of digital technologies in their teaching. Secondarily, the position shares some duties with the department's administrative coordinator, who has primary responsibility for a range of financial and administrative tasks relating to the day‑to‑day operations of the department, faculty searches, and special events. Every student at Harvey Mudd must complete the HSA program in addition to the College's core requirements and major requirements.

The program coordinator works under the supervision of the department chair but engages with all department faculty on matters including but not limited to student advising. The department chair appoints a faculty member to serve as advising coordinator, and this faculty member works especially closely with the program coordinator. Duties and Responsibilities Provide answers to routine HSA advising questions from Harvey Mudd students, redirecting to an academic advisor as appropriate.

Partner with the registrar's office and the department's faculty advising coordinator to regularly update the list of Claremont Colleges course offerings that count for HSA credit. Support the faculty advising coordinator in managing the transition to the college's new student information system (Anthology). Develop and maintain a Canvas site related to HSA advising. Maintain the sections of the department's website that relate to course offerings, departmental policies, and advising. Interface with Academic Affairs to track advising needs of students on leave.
