Student Life Communications Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Advertising Summary (looks like About the role). Then Position Details includes Title, College/Division, Department, Location, Target Hourly/Salary Rate, Appointment FTE, FLSA Status, Bargaining Unit, Contingent Upon Funding, Standard Work Schedule. Then Job Duties and Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Then Qualifications (Required Education and Experience, Preferred Qualifications). Then Special Certification/Licensure (maybe none). Then Working Conditions and Physical Effort Environment (maybe Skills? Actually that's working conditions). Then Recruitment Summary (maybe About the role again). Then Special Instructions to Applicants (application instructions - we must remove). EEO Statement (remove). Requesting an Accommodation (remove). Also we need to preserve substantive info. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could combine Advertising Summary and Recruitment Summary? The Advertising Summary: "Looking for creative and passionate professional to join our team. The Student Life Communications Specialist provides strategic leadership for Student Life’s digital communications, marketing, branding, and student engagement technologies. This position manages and optimizes Crimson Connection, Student Life websites, social media, publications, and multimedia content to promote programs, services, events, and campus traditions. Working collaboratively with student leaders and campus partners, the specialist develops innovative communication strategies, provides platform training and support, and uses engagement analytics to increase student involvement and advance student success." That's a good About the role. - Responsibilities: Job Duties and Responsibilities paragraph(s). We can list bullet points. - Requirements: maybe Required Education and Experience (Associate's + 4 years or Bachelor's + 2 years). Also maybe Preferred Qualifications? But we have Qualifications section; we could split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - Requirements: Required Education and Experience (Associate's + 4 years or Bachelor's + 2 years). Possibly also "Equivalent Qualifications" but that's same. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list (Master's degree, experience with Encoura Engage, familiarity with WCAG, supervisory experience, risk management, knowledge of digital platforms, proficiency with social media tools, strong written/visual communication, experience with student affairs, ability to analyze data). That's a list. - Skills: maybe we could extract from Preferred Qualifications as skills, but we already have Qualifications. Could treat Qualifications as preferred qualifications and Skills as specific abilities like "Strong written and visual communication skills", "Proficiency with social media management tools, content management systems, and design software", "Ability to analyze data". But we already have those in Preferred Qualifications. Might be redundant. However we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But headings are prescribed; we can omit sections if no real specific content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (covering preferred qualifications and skills), Pay, Schedule. Benefits? Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits. Pay: we have Target Hourly/Salary Rate: $43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.) The phrase "Commensurate with qualifications." is placeholder? It's not a specific number? Actually it's a specific number with note. It's a specific salary. So we can include Pay section with that salary. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Here we have "$43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.)" The parenthetical is filler but the main amount is specific. We could include the amount and maybe note that it's commensurate with qualifications. Might be okay. We'll include Pay: $43,908.80. Schedule: Standard Work Schedule: Standard (M-F, 8-5). That's specific. So Schedule section. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and

• for lists,

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Student Life Communications Specialist. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we have none. We must remove boilerplate: Special Instructions to Applicants, EEO Statement, Requesting an Accommodation. We must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract content: About the role: Advertising Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: Job Duties and Responsibilities paragraph(s). Could break into bullet list for clarity. The paragraph contains multiple sentences; we can convert to

  • each duty. Let's list duties from that paragraph: - Provides strategic leadership for Student Life's digital communications, marketing, branding, and student engagement technologies. - Responsible for administering and optimizing Encoura Engage (Crimson Connection), the university's primary student engagement platform, ensuring it serves as an effective resource for recognized student organizations, Student Life departments, university partners, and the campus community. - Develops and implements comprehensive communication and marketing strategies that increase student involvement, promote co-curricular learning opportunities, and enhance the visibility of Student Life programs, services, events, and campus traditions. - Manages Student Life websites, digital communications, social media platforms, electronic communications, print publications, photography, videography, and multimedia content while ensuring compliance with university branding, accessibility, and data privacy standards. - Working collaboratively with student leaders, university departments, and campus partners, provides consultation and training on the effective use of Encoura Engage, supports communications for major campus events and initiatives, and utilizes engagement analytics to assess effectiveness and guide continuous improvement. - Through innovative communication strategies and technology solutions, advances student engagement, supports student success, and contributes to the mission and strategic priorities of Student Life. That's good. Requirements: Required Education and Experience: Associate's Degree + 4 years of relevant experience or a Bachelor's degree + 2 years of relevant experience. Equivalent Qualifications (maybe mention). We'll put as

    . Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list (bullet). Let's list: - Master’s degree in Higher Education, Student Affairs, Communications, or a related discipline. - Experience working with Encoura Engage at an administrative level or similar product. - Familiarity with web accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) and ADA/FERPA compliance in a higher education context. - Supervisory experience, particularly with student employees or interns. - Knowledge of risk management principles and branding standards in a university setting. - Demonstrated experience with digital communication platforms and student engagement systems (e.g., Encoura Engage, CampusGroups, Presence). - Proficiency with social media management tools, content management systems, and design software (e.g., Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud). - Strong written and visual communication skills with the ability to translate complex programs into engaging messages for student audiences. - Experience with student affairs, student organizations, event promotion, or campus programming. - Ability to analyze data and prepare user-friendly reports and summaries. We could also include Special Certification/Licensure (none). Working Conditions and Physical Effort Environment maybe could be placed under Skills? But we have no Skills heading content besides maybe those. However we could treat Working Conditions as Skills? Not really. Better to omit Skills section if no specific skill list beyond what's already in Qualifications. But we have many skill-like items in Qualifications; we could rename Qualifications to Skills? But instruction says use headings as given; we can have Qualifications section for preferred qualifications and Skills for specific abilities like "Strong written and visual communication skills", "Proficiency with social media management tools", "Ability to analyze data". However those are already in Preferred Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put all preferred qualifications under Qualifications and omit Skills. That's acceptable: we only include sections with real specific content. So we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Now Pay:

    $43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.)

    maybe we can keep the note. Schedule:

    Standard (M-F, 8-5)

    Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Closing at: Oct 7 2026 - 23:55 MDT", "View favorites", "Department Contact: Jana Williams, 575-646-1722, janaw@nmsu.edu", "Internal or External Search: External - Open to all applicants", "Advertising Summary:" label maybe we can drop label but keep content. The Advertising Summary content we used. We should not include the label "Advertising Summary:" as it's just a label; we can omit. Similarly "Position Details" label we can omit; we just used the relevant bits. We must not include "Position Title: Student Life Communications Specialist" etc as heading; we already omitted title heading. But we might need to include some of those details somewhere? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't say we must omit the title entirely; we could include it in a paragraph if needed. But it's not required; we can omit it because it's already shown. However we might need to include other metadata like College/Division, Department, Location, etc. Are those substantive? Possibly yes. They are details about the role. Should we include them? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should include College/Division, Department, Location, Appointment FTE, FLSA Status, Bargaining Unit, Contingent Upon Funding, Standard Work Schedule (we already used schedule). But we already used schedule; we could also include other details in a paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Position Details". However we don't have a heading for that; we could embed them in a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities? Better to add a short paragraph after About the role maybe under a heading like "About the role" we already have prose; we can add more sentences. But we must not create headings for minor metadata; we can fold them into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include College/Division, Department, Location, FTE, FLSA, Bargaining Unit, Contingent Upon Funding in a paragraph. Thus About the role section could have two paragraphs: first the Advertising Summary, second a paragraph with metadata. Let's craft:
