Student Recruitment Coordinator - 88740BR
At Arizona State University, we measure ourselves not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed. Unlike many other top film schools, which measure themselves by who they exclude, The Sidney Poitier New American Film School is inclusive. ASU's undergraduate film majors represent the creative diversity of our country, with more than 40 percent of its students from under-represented backgrounds.
Under the direction of the Manager, the Student Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator often serves as the first contact for prospective undergraduate and graduate students, considering applying to ASU. The ideal Student Recruitment Coordinator will be an effective communicator, especially via email who brings an empathic, service-oriented and reassuring approach in a fast-paced environment. The successful candidate will be skilled at building affinity with prospective students, presenting program benefits, and addressing barriers to enrollment. Affinity is built via telephone communication, written communication, in-person meetings, and events, held on campus, off-campus, and online. We are looking for an individual who can foster and maintain relationships between high schools, community colleges, universities, and ASU by acting as a bridge from pre-enrollment and admissions with prospective students to engagement in our School and community events as current students.
About The Sidney Poitier New American Film School:
On Jan. 25, 2021, Arizona State University publicly announced the launch of The Sidney Poitier New American Film School, one of the largest, most egalitarian film schools in the country, operating in three cities across Arizona and California.
In the last 15 years, the film program in ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts has thrived, and with the launch of the new school and new facilities, ASU positions itself as a new kind of film school. The Sidney Poitier New American Film School will operate across three cities, including a brand-new 118,000-gross-square-foot state-of-the-art facility set to open in 2022 in downtown Mesa, Arizona, 7 miles from the university’s Tempe Campus. The school will also operate in the newly renovated ASU Herald Examiner building in downtown Los Angeles, the former home of the Hearst publishing empire, giving film students from every background an opportunity to connect with the entertainment capital of the world and bolstering the presence the film program already has in L.A. through ASU Film Spark. Students also have opportunities to use Hollywood technology through partnerships, including with the John Hughes Institute and with Dreamscape Immersive, the world’s leading virtual reality company.
