- Contacted students with low attendance and engagement levels to ascertain their circumstances and to offer them guidance and advice where necessary, as well as reminders about attending teaching events. I then followed up with them a week later to see if their situation had improved.- Created a monthly newsletter to provide students with up-to-date information on events and opportunities happening within the university and also updated the department’s social media accounts daily to further promote these opportunities.- Independently planned and organised a variety of successful events for students, including a couple of quiz nights where I wrote the questions and hosted the event. I also booked rooms, ordered food, arranged activities and advertised the events via social media, email and newsletters, as well as designed posters to put on notice boards. All of the events had an exceptional turnout, which was often commented on by management as this was unusual.- Frequently interpreted large amounts of data from reports and used Microsoft Excel to manage and simplify this data in order to make it more accessible. This data was then used to identify students who required intervention due to low attendance and engagement, as well as students who were beginning to lapse in order to prevent their situation from worsening.- Referred students with consistently low attendance to the department’s Progress Officer and arranged the meetings, took notes during them and sent follow-up emails to the students with a summary of the notes I had taken.- Provided information about the university’s support services for students seeking help and advice about various issues.- General administrative tasks such as scheduling appointments for students to see their Personal Tutors, uploading feedback for in-class tests, taking notes during meetings, sending letters to potential students and emailing important information to current students.
