Student Life Communications Specialist
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Department Contact: Jana Williams, 575-646-1722, janaw@nmsu.edu (maybe minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably drop as not needed? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with contact info maybe. - Internal or External Search: External - Open to all applicants (metadata, drop) - 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 prose summary; could be placed under About the role. - Position Details: includes Position Title (we ignore), College/Division, Department, Location, Target Hourly/Salary Rate: $43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.) Appointment Full-time Equivalency: 1.0 FLSA Status: Exempt Bargaining Unit Announcement: This is NOT a bargaining unit position with AFSCME. Contingent Upon Funding: Not Applicable Standard Work Schedule: Standard (M-F, 8-5) If Not a Standard Work Schedule We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It states Target Hourly/Salary Rate: $43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.) That's a specific number, though includes "(Commensurate with qualifications.)". The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here they say "$43,908.80 (Commensurate with qualifications.)". That includes a qualifier but still a specific number. I think we can include Pay section with that salary. It's not just "commensurate with experience" alone; they gave a number. So include Pay. Schedule: Standard Work Schedule: Standard (M-F, 8-5). That's specific. So include Schedule. Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits. Now responsibilities: The "Job Duties and Responsibilities" section includes a paragraph repeated similar to advertising summary but more detailed. We'll extract duties as list items. Qualifications: "Required Education and Experience: Associate's Degree + 4 years of relevant experience or a Bachelor's degree + 2 years of relevant experience." Also "Preferred Qualifications:" list. We need to separate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills? The instruction: Use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could be the advertising summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Duties and Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the required education and experience (minimum). Could also include required qualifications like "Associate's Degree + 4 years ..." etc. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications list. - Skills: maybe list of skills like proficiency with platforms, design software, etc. Could extract from preferred qualifications and responsibilities. We must not invent content; we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from posting, just organized. Let's extract all substantive info: From 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. From Job Duties and Responsibilities (similar but more detailed): - 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, the position 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, this position advances student engagement, supports student success, and contributes to the mission and strategic priorities of Student Life. We can combine and deduplicate but must preserve all info; we can list as bullet points. Qualifications: Required Education and Experience: Associate's Degree + 4 years of relevant experience or a Bachelor's degree + 2 years of relevant experience. Preferred Qualifications: - Master’s degree in Higher Education, Student Affairs, Communications, or a related discipline. - Experience working with Ecoura 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. Special Certification/Licensure: none mentioned. Working Conditions and Physical Effort Environment: - Work is normally performed in a typical interior/office work environment. - Physical Effort: Light physical effort. Effort applies to no more than two (2) hours per day. - Lifting Requirements: Requires handling of average-weight objects up to 10 pounds or some standing or walking. - Risk: Work environment involves some exposure to hazards or physical risks, which require following basic safety precautions. This could go under Requirements? Or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put working conditions under Requirements or Skills? Probably Requirements includes education/experience and maybe working conditions. But we could also put under Requirements a list that includes both education/experience and working conditions. However the instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So requirements list can include education/experience and maybe working conditions.
Skills: we could list specific skills like proficiency with platforms, design software, analytics, etc. But many of those are already in preferred qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps we treat Qualifications as both required and preferred, and Skills as a separate list of specific abilities (e.g., strong written and visual communication skills, ability to analyze data, etc.). However we must not invent content; we need to include all specifics. We could split: Requirements: education/experience + working conditions. Qualifications: preferred qualifications (master's, experience with Encoura Engage, etc.). Skills: specific skills like proficiency with social media management tools, CMS, design software, strong written/visual communication, data analysis, etc. But many of those appear in preferred qualifications; we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but we should avoid unnecessary repetition? It didn't say not to duplicate. However better to organize logically without repeating same sentence twice. We can incorporate the skills into Qualifications (preferred) and not have a separate Skills section if it would be thin. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, or we could have Skills as a subset but risk thin.
Let's see what we have for Skills: from preferred qualifications we have:
- 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.
- Ability to analyze data and prepare user-friendly reports and summaries.
Also from responsibilities: uses engagement analytics, provides platform training and support, etc.
We could put those under Qualifications as bullet points.
Thus we may have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience + working conditions), Qualifications (preferred qualifications + skills), Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Benefits (none). Ensure we don't include empty sections.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start with a
for contact info maybe: "Department Contact: Jana Williams, 575-646-1722, janaw@nmsu.edu". Could be minor metadata; we can include as a short
at top. Then
About the role
withcontaining the advertising summary paragraph(s). Could combine into one paragraph. Then
Responsibilities
with- each duty.
Then
Requirements
with- for required education/experience and working conditions items.
Then
Qualifications
with- for preferred qualifications and skills.
Then

Schedule
withcontaining standard work schedule. Make sure not to include any boilerplate like "Internal or External Search", "Advertising Summary", "Position Details", etc. Check for any mention of "Standard Work Schedule: Standard (M-F, 8-5)". We'll output that. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss any? Let's list all info from posting: - Department Contact: Jana Williams, 575-646-1722, janaw@nmsu.edu (we included as p) - Internal or External Search: External - Open to all applicants (dropped as metadata) - Advertising Summary: we used. - Position Details: we used salary, schedule, etc. Also we dropped Position Title, College/Division, Department, Location, Appointment FTE, FLSA Status, Bargaining Unit Announcement, Contingent Upon Funding. Those are metadata; we can drop or fold into short p? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short p with some of those maybe, but not required. Safer to drop them as they are minor metadata. However we might want to keep location? The instruction says we can drop minor metadata
- for preferred qualifications and skills.
Then
- for required education/experience and working conditions items.
Then
