ADM: Access Coordinator (S99744)

Summary

Bates’ Admission Office is committed to welcoming and celebrating prospective students from different backgrounds, abilities, and identities.

The Access Coordinator position is an integral part of assisting Admissions staff members in charge of planning and carrying out this access-related programming throughout the year.
