Job Title:

Program Director, Educational Enrichment

Department:

Undergraduate Education | Morrill Scholarship Program

Program Overview

The Office of Educational Enrichment and Scholarship Services (E2S2) advances student participation in high-impact learning by coordinating programs that provide opportunities for student academic engagement, experiential learning pathways, and scholarship administration.  The unit oversees core functions, including managing the Office of Undergraduate Education Learning Communities and global education programs; coordinating with university departments and corporate partners to expand access to research and internship opportunities; offering service-based experiences; and supporting processes that help students identify, access, and document co-curricular learning experiences.  Through these programs, E2S2 ensures that students have clear, navigable opportunities to pursue meaningful academic and professional development experiences.

E2S2 works in close collaboration with Student Financial Aid, academic colleges, the Career Center for Excellence, Service-Learning, and other university partners whose work intersects with experiential learning and scholarship administration.  While these processes are shared across campus, E2S2’s role centers on aligning student opportunities with available funding, enhancing the student experience, and streamlining operational practices within its portfolio.

The unit also partners with University Advancement to support donor engagement and steward philanthropic resources that expand student access to internships, research, and other transformative learning opportunities.  By integrating program oversight with strategic collaboration, E2S2 strengthens pathways to student engagement while advancing broader institutional goals related to academic success, access, and career readiness.
