Job Description

Some of the phrases people use to describe you: the life of the party, a social butterfly, the people encyclopedia, a born storyteller. Your student-at-heart way is contagious. You encourage people to meet, get inspired and have fun. And you do all this, just by being you. As a true connector you turn our diverse culture of students into a cohesive community.



Your role is to open the door to the start of something beautiful - a new friendship, collaboration or unforgettable experience. You build relationships and partnerships. You create stories and adventures. You make everyone who steps through our doors feel like a part of The CampusKey family. You're also a bit of a miracle worker and crisis manager. If an artist, photographer or DJ pulls out of an event last minute, all you have to do is scroll through your phone contacts (or your Facebook friends) to find an even better replacement.
