The College Advising Corps (CAC) at New York University is a full-time program that seeks to increase the number of first-generation college-bound, low-to-moderate income, and underrepresented high school and community college students who enter and persist in college and earn bachelor’s degrees.
The CAC achieves this mission by placing near-peer, recent college graduates to serve as full-time College Advisers in under-served schools across New York City. College Advisers provide college application and financial aid guidance to students and their families while fostering a culture of college attendance and higher education.
Currently, NYU CAC serves 66 NYC high schools across four boroughs with the exciting anticipation that we will be in 100 schools by the start of the 2019-2020 academic school year. To learn more, please visit our website at: www.advisingcorps.org
We are currently looking and hiring for young and enthusiastic advisers. Specifically, we are trying to meet candidates who are on pre-professional paths who are looking to take a gap year to study for the LSAT, MCAT, GRE, etc. and offer them an employment opportunity that has a diverse and lush range of directly transferable skills to their future career paths. Why our program?
- Our advisers are eligible for tuition remission at NYU
- We provide career and graduate school guidance for our advisers during their time of service
- They will be full-time NYU employees with salary, benefits, and a flexible work schedule that allows them to apply to grad school, job search, and explore the next step in their careers or academic pursuits
- An extensive, national network of College Advising Corps Alumni across the entire country, working in a diverse array of different career fields
Interested applicants may either apply directly by sending a cover letter or resume to Pat Kim (jk166@nyu.edu), or we are more than happy to offer an informational phone call/answer any email questions that prospective applicants may have.
