Independently advises students and resolves student services related issues on the full range of academic, cultural and logistical issues inherent within any study abroad program.

Works with the Global Engagement management to recommend changes to policies, practices and procedures with regard to UCSC study abroad programs.

Provides advice to students on the full range of study abroad program opportunities, academic, and legal requirements to participate in UCSC faculty-led and exchange programs as well as UCEAP programs. UCSC faculty-led and exchange programs are growing rapidly and the UCEAP currently offers more than 200 program options at 110 universities in 34 countries. Has in-depth knowledge of academic systems and course offerings of the faculty-led and exchange programs in his/her portfolio as well as countries in his or her UCEAP advising portfolio and general knowledge of all the other UCSC and UCEAP countries and program options.

Advisers are expected to manage student recruitment, admissions, pre-departure preparation, health and safety requirements, and re-entry activities for students in the programs in his/her portfolio.

As UCSC continues to develop faculty-led study abroad programs, exchanges and other relationships with institutions overseas, advisers work directly with faculty, campus department and international partners in the development of these opportunities and provide administrative oversight. Advisers manage a portfolio of programs and continue to play an important role in the development and advising of new UCSC study abroad options in the future.

Advisers are expected to participate in divisional initiatives, and contribute to improving work processes within Global Engagement to achieve the divisional goals and objectives. Advisers are expected to demonstrate leadership and advanced problem-solving skills when addressing problems, and to help with training and mentoring less experienced team members (Student Services Advisor 2 and office assistants). Advisers operate with autonomy to organize their time, manage their program portfolios, manage their student caseload, and to meet office and program deadlines. Works independently under general supervision.

GE interacts with campus leadership on strategic planning and initiatives to elevate the reputation of UCSC globally. GE units include Study Abroad, International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) and Global Initiatives.
