Case Manager, Dean of Students, Student Services

Reporting to the Director of Student Support Services in the Office of the Dean of Students, the Case Manager plays a pivotal role in providing direct support to students navigating complex personal, financial, or academic challenges that impact their university experience and personal wellbeing. The Case Manager serves as a first point of contact for students in distress, employing sound judgement and empathy to triage concerns, assess risk and determine appropriate levels of intervention. The Case Manager provides short-term, solution-focused support, collaborates with campus partners, and makes timely referrals to resources both within and beyond the University.

In addition to direct student support, the Case Manager maintains thorough and confidential records in accordance with legal and ethical standards; contributes to the development and implementation of policies and practices that strengthen campus response to students in crisis; and engages in proactive outreach and education initiatives that foster a culture of care and early help-seeking.
