We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "POSITION SPECIFICS" describing role. Could treat as About the role. Then Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Then Qualifications (Required and Preferred). Then Salary & Benefits (Pay). Also maybe Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits included. Also maybe "Reporting Relationship" could be part of About the role. We must not include headings with filler. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove background checks? That's substantive? It mentions required clearances; that's part of qualifications? Could include under Requirements? Might be considered part of qualifications but not required to list. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the clearance requirements somewhere. Could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably under Qualifications - Required? It's not a qualification but a requirement. Could create a section "Requirements" for clearances. But we need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include only those with real content. We have: - About the role: description of position, purpose, reporting relationship, collaboration. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Campus Programming and Events, PAC Advisor, Campus Collaboration..., Fraternity and Sorority Life Liaison). Could break into bullet list. - Requirements: maybe the clearances and work authorization, plus maybe "Ability to work evening/weekend hours". Also "Bachelor's degree or equivalent" is qualification. But we have Qualifications section for required and preferred. We could treat Qualifications as required and preferred. Then Requirements could be things like clearances, work authorization, ability to work evenings/weekends. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Qualifications section? But headings are prescribed; we can omit sections if no real content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. That's five sections. We need to include clearances somewhere; maybe under Qualifications - Required? It's not exactly qualification but could be listed as "Required clearances: PA State Police Criminal Background Check, PA Child Abuse History Clearance Form, Federal (FBI) Fingerprint Criminal Background Check." Also "Must be authorized to work in the U.S." Pay: salary range $49,188.00 - $71,340.00. Benefits: description of benefits package. We must not include schedule (not mentioned). No Skills section unless we have specific skills list; we have skills mentioned in qualifications (strong organizational skills, communication, etc.) Could put under Qualifications. We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings. We must use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific events (Welcome Week, First 100 Days, Fall Fest, Spring Fling, Greek Week, hazing prevention initiatives). Also mention supervision of PAC president, part-time student employees, etc. Also mention collaboration with specific offices. We need to be careful not to omit any details. Let's extract sections: About the role (POSITION SPECIFICS): - Penn State Harrisburg seeking full-time Events and Program Coordinator to create meaningful on-campus experiences to enhance student co-curricular involvement. - Plans and implements large-scale, signature events including Welcome Week and First 100 Days programming. - Advises the Programming and Activities Committee (PAC) and supports them in execution of their events each semester including management of its annual Student Initiated Fee allocation, coordination of event logistics, and supervision of the PAC president. - Serves as Fraternity and Sorority Life liaison, supporting chapter recruitment and eligibility verification, facilitating Greek Council meetings, ensuring Greek organizations align with Penn State policies and values. - May require frequent evening or weekend hours. - Expected to engage with campus, University, and professional networks and committees. - Reports to the Coordinator of Student Leadership Programs. - Collaborates with various offices across campus including Student Affairs, Student Organizations, Financial Services, Procurement, Office of Physical Plant, Housing and Food Services, and other campus partners involved in execution of campus events. Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities): We have subheadings: Campus Programming and Events, Programming and Activities Committee (PAC) Advisor, Campus Collaboration, Communication, and Administrative Support, Fraternity and Sorority Life Liaison. We can combine into a list of responsibilities, but we need to preserve details. Could create subheadings inside? Not allowed; only headings are h3 for sections. Inside we can use

    for prose and

    • for lists. Could break each responsibility area into

      with details, or use

      • for each bullet. Probably better to use
        • for each major responsibility area, with details inside the li as prose. Let's list: - Lead the Office of Student Engagement’s campus events and initiatives, creating meaningful on-campus experiences that enhance students’ co-curricular involvement. - Plan and execute assigned Office of Student Engagement large-scale campus events. - Chair the Welcome Week Committee and oversee the planning, coordination, and implementation of Welcome Week programming. - Develop and implement First 100 Days initiatives to support student engagement and student transition. - Supervise and support part-time student employees assisting with event planning, implementation, and programming logistics. - Advise the Student Programming and Activities Committee (PAC) by attending weekly meetings and providing regular supervision and mentorship to the PAC president and committee chairs. - Support the planning and implementation of approximately events each semester, including major campus traditions such as Fall Fest and Spring Fling. - Assist PAC with event logistics, including room reservations, scheduling, setup, and coordination with campus partners. - Manage PAC’s annual Standing Allocation from the Student Initiated Fee, including funding requests, financial records, monitoring expenditures, and ensuring funds are appropriately disbursed. - Directly supervise the PAC president, a paid student employee within the Office of Student Engagement who typically works 10 hours per week. - Provide guidance, mentorship, and performance support to the PAC executive board in managing committee operations and student programming. - Maintain effective communication and collaborative relationships with campus partners to support planning and implementation of programs and initiatives. - Develop and contribute to publications, promotional materials, presentations, and other communications that highlight student engagement opportunities and Office of Student Engagement programs. - Provide presentations and program support for campus partners to promote engagement opportunities, and available resources. - Demonstrate financial stewardship through budget oversight, expenditure monitoring, purchasing, and reconciliation of funds in accordance with university policies. - Ensure programs, events, financial activities comply with applicable University policies, procedures, risk-management requirements, and other institutional guidelines. - Serve as the Fraternity and Sorority Life Coordinator for all active Greek-letter organizations at Penn State Harrisburg. - Support chapter recruitment efforts and verify eligibility of potential new members. - Facilitate weekly Greek Council meetings. - Provide educational programs on hazing prevention, Title IX, and the history of Greek Life at Penn State. - Assist with planning and executing FSL events, including Greek Week and hazing prevention initiatives. - Coordinate the establishment of new Greek organizations and ensure alignment with Penn State’s values, policies, and compliance requirements. That seems comprehensive. Qualifications (Required and Preferred): We have Required: - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience. - Experience executing high-quality, large-scale events. - Ability to work effectively with people of diverse backgrounds. - Strong organizational skills with ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and workflows. - Attention to detail and ability to multitask. - Ability to communicate clearly both verbally and in writing. - Commitment to student-centered service, accessibility, and continuous improvement. - Basic technological skills and willingness to learn new technology. - Experience maintaining accurate records, managing documentation, and supporting operational processes. - Proven track record of working effectively within a team environment. Preferred: - Master’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience. - Demonstrated history of leadership and knowledge of student development. - Experience working in student activities executing high-quality student events. - Evidence of creating practices that improve equity and inclusion. Also Minimum Education, Work Experience & Required Certifications: Bachelor's Degree 3+ years of relevant experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience accepted. Required Certifications: None. We could incorporate that into Required qualifications. Also background checks: PA State Police Criminal Background Check, PA Child Abuse History Clearance Form, Federal (FBI) Fingerprint Criminal Background Check. Must be authorized to work in the U.S. We could put those under Requirements section, but we have no separate Requirements heading; we could add a "Requirements" section for clearances and work authorization. But we already have Qualifications; maybe we can add a subsection inside Qualifications? But instruction says use headings only for those sections; we can still have

          inside Qualifications that includes those details. That's fine. Pay: salary range $49,188.00 - $71,340.00. Benefits: description: competitive benefits package for full-time employees; comprehensive medical, dental, vision; robust retirement plans; substantial paid time off (holidays, vacation, sick); generous 75% tuition discount for employees and eligible spouses and children; refer to Benefits Page for more detail. We should not include boilerplate like "For more detailed information, please visit our Benefits Page." That's okay to keep as it's substantive? It's a reference; we can keep. We must not include sections like Schedule (not present). Also not include "EEO", "Background Checks/Clearances" as heading; we can embed details. Now produce HTML fragment:

          About the role

          ...

          Responsibilities

          • ...
          • ...

          Qualifications

          Preferred:

          • ...
          Maybe also include Minimum Education etc inside Required. We could combine Required and Preferred into one list with headings inside

          . But we need to use

          • for any list. So we can have separate lists. Pay:

            Pay

            The salary range for this position, including all possible grades, is $49,188.00 - $71,340.00.

            Benefits:

            Benefits

            Penn State provides a competitive benefits package for full-time employees designed to support both personal and professional well-being. In addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, employees enjoy robust retirement plans and substantial paid time off which includes holidays, vacation and sick time. One of the standout benefits is the generous 75% tuition discount, available to employees as well as eligible spouses and children. For more detailed information, please visit our Benefits Page.

            We should also include the requirement for clearances and work authorization somewhere. Could add a

            Requirements

            section. But we already have Qualifications; maybe we can add a separate Requirements section for clearances and work auth. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding a Requirements section may be okay if it's substantive. But we could incorporate into Qualifications as "Required clearances" etc. That might be okay. Let's add a

            Requirements

            with list: PA State Police Criminal Background Check, PA Child Abuse History Clearance Form, Federal (FBI) Fingerprint Criminal Background Check; Must be authorized to work in the United States. But we already have Qualifications; having both may be thin. However, the clearances are not qualifications per se; they are pre-employment requirements. Could be considered Requirements. I'd rather add a Requirements section to keep Qualifications focused on skills/education.
