Director of College Access Programs

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Position Summary, Duties/Responsibilities, Required Knowledge And Skills, Preferred Knowledge And Skills, Functional Requirements, Salary Range, maybe Benefits? Not given. Also we have Position Allocation and Program Assignment details, which could be part of duties or responsibilities. We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. The posting includes Position Summary (could be About the role). Duties/Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Required Knowledge And Skills (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills). Preferred Knowledge And Skills (maybe also Qualifications). Functional Requirements (maybe Requirements). Salary Range (Pay). No benefits or schedule given, so we should not create those sections. Also we have Position Allocation and Program Assignment details; could be part of Responsibilities or About the role. We'll embed within appropriate sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, FLSA Status, etc. Remove those. Also remove Job ID etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the salary range: $70,000 - $74,000/Annual Salary. Also mention grant funded through Aug 31, 2030. Also mention 50/50 shared position etc. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are many paragraphs; we could break into list items for each major duty category. But we must preserve all info; we can convert paragraphs into list items but ensure not to lose detail. Could also keep prose

  for sections that are not list. The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So if we have a list, we must use

    • . If we have prose, use

      . We can decide to make duties as a list. That seems appropriate. Similarly, Required Knowledge And Skills could be a list. Preferred Knowledge And Skills also list. Functional Requirements list. We need to avoid creating sections with filler text. So we will include sections only if we have real content. Thus sections: About the role (Position Summary + Position Allocation). Responsibilities (Duties/Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe combine Required Knowledge And Skills + Functional Requirements). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Knowledge And Skills). Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We have Required Knowledge And Skills (mandatory). Preferred Knowledge And Skills (optional). Functional Requirements (abilities). Could combine Required Knowledge And Skills and Functional Requirements into a "Requirements" section. Preferred Knowledge And Skills into "Preferred Qualifications" or "Qualifications". But the allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred, Skills maybe for skills list? But we already have skills in Required Knowledge And Skills. Could split: Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (specific skills). However we must not create sections with filler. We have content for each. Let's extract: About the role: Position Summary + Position Allocation and Program Assignment (the 50/50 shared). Also mention grant funded through Aug 31, 2030. Responsibilities: Duties/Responsibilities (the big list). Could break into subcategories but we can just list each duty as

    • . Requirements: Required Knowledge And Skills (education, experience, etc.) plus maybe Functional Requirements (abilities). Could combine. Qualifications: Preferred Knowledge And Skills. Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like "Strong written, verbal, interpersonal, and presentation skills", "Ability to analyze data", etc. But those are already in Required Knowledge And Skills. Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills section if it would be thin. Instead we could put skills within Requirements. But the instruction says we can use Skills heading if we have real specific content. We have many skill statements; we could put them under Skills. However we also have experience statements. Might be okay to split: Requirements: education and experience. Qualifications: preferred experience. Skills: abilities and competencies. Let's do that. Thus: About the role:

      We should also include grant funded through Aug 31, 2030 and 50/50 shared position in About the role. Let's craft About the role paragraph: Combine Position Summary and Position Allocation. Position Summary: "This is a grant funded position through August 31, 2030. The Director of College Access Programs provides strategic, administrative, and operational leadership for the institution’s college access and student success initiatives, with responsibilities equally divided between TRIO Programs and the Pathways to USI program. The Director is responsible for the effective development, implementation, assessment, and continuous improvement of programs designed to increase college access, retention, persistence, completion, career readiness, and post-graduation success for students who may experience financial, academic, social, or other barriers to higher education. The position provides leadership for program personnel, student support services, outreach and recruitment activities, grant and institutional compliance, fiscal management, assessment, reporting, partnerships, and long-term program development. The Director works collaboratively with academic and student affairs units, faculty, staff, community partners, and other campus stakeholders to strengthen institutional pathways to higher education and student success. The position serves as a senior representative for TRIO and Pathways initiatives and is responsible for ensuring that program activities align with applicable federal, state, institutional, and grant requirements, as well as the University’s strategic priorities." Position Allocation and Program Assignment: "This is a 50/50 shared position, with the employee’s assigned effort, responsibilities, and salary allocation divided equally between TRIO Programs and Pathways to USI. 50% TRIO Programs: The employee will provide leadership, administration, supervision, fiscal oversight, compliance, assessment, reporting, student services, and program development associated with applicable TRIO programs and their approved grant activities. 50% Pathways to USI: The employee will provide leadership, administration, supervision, student access and success initiatives, partnership development, assessment, fiscal oversight, and program development associated with the Pathways to USI program. The position is expected to coordinate activities across both programs where appropriate and beneficial to student success; however, effort and responsibilities must remain appropriately attributable to the respective program for purposes of budgeting, personnel allocation, grant administration, effort reporting, and institutional accountability. The Director will maintain appropriate documentation of work performed for each program and will ensure that activities, expenditures, and personnel effort are consistent with applicable funding requirements, approved budgets, University policies, and program objectives. This 50/50 allocation may be reviewed and adjusted through the University’s established budget, position management, and approval processes as programmatic needs and funding structures evolve." We'll combine into a couple paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: we need to list duties from Duties/Responsibilities section. That section includes many bullet-like paragraphs but not actual list. We'll extract each sentence or clause as list items. Must preserve all substantive information. Let's parse: "Program Leadership and Administration: - Provide overall leadership, vision, and direction for TRIO and Pathways to USI programming. - Develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive college access and student success strategies. - Supervise, mentor, and provide professional development for program staff, graduate assistants, student employees, and other personnel as assigned. - Establish program goals, objectives, policies, procedures, and performance expectations. - Ensure effective coordination of services and avoid unnecessary duplication of student support across programs and campus units. - Develop and maintain systems that support consistent, equitable, and student-centered delivery of services. - Represent TRIO and Pathways programs on university committees, task forces, and institutional initiatives as assigned." "Student Access, Retention, and Success: - Lead initiatives designed to increase access to higher education among students from underserved and/or financially limited backgrounds. - Develop and maintain relationships with students, families, schools, community organizations, and campus partners. - Promote a comprehensive approach to student success that addresses academic, financial, career, retention initiatives and other barriers to persistence and completion. - Monitor student outcomes and use data to identify opportunities for intervention and program improvement. - Ensure that students receive appropriate referrals to institutional and community resources. - Oversee individualized coaching and support services focused on student engagement, self-efficacy, wellness, and academic success. - Collaborate with academic advisors, faculty, student affairs staff, and campus partners to coordinate holistic student support" "TRIO Program Responsibilities: - Provide leadership and oversight for applicable TRIO program activities and objectives. - Ensure program services, eligibility practices, documentation, expenditures, and reporting comply with applicable federal regulations, grant requirements, and University policies
