The Gateway Advising Center
of The City College of New York
invites applications for a full-time academic advisor position.
The Gateway Advising
Center advises
approximately 3,000 students, a cohort comprised of Freshmen, Continuing and
Transfer students who have not yet decided on a major or who are fulfilling
eligibility requirements for entry into specialized programs. Its mission is
to nurture academic success for undeclared students with particular attention
to the programmatic needs of first-year and at-risk students. The Center also
coordinates the summer academic skills workshops, which prepares students to
meet eligibility requirements in Mathematics, Science, Reading and Writing.

Gateway students, the Academic Advisor/Program Coordinator also collaborates
in the planning and delivery of other Gateway events and services, including
the summer and academic year skills workshops.
Specific duties
include but are not limited to:
• Providing academic
advisement to students who have not yet declared a major, through one-on-one
mentoring, workshops, or presentations.
• Advising students
about academic standards, policies and programs available to facilitate their
success.
• Assisting the
Coordinator of Advising and Director in developing and implementing retention
