Early College Liaison

The Early College Liaison requires a multi-talented, flexible individual committed to

scholars success to and through college. The Early College Liaison requires the academic
disposition and habits to support scholars in their dual enrollment coursework and prepare
them for postsecondary success. The Early College Liaison’s primary role is to act as a
bridge between Argosy Collegiate scholars and a dual enrollment course professor through
course auditing, facilitating a course “learning lab” and supporting scholars’ self-advocacy,
organization, and effective study habits. The Early College Liaison provides or secures
academic help to ensure scholars meet the academic requirements of a given dual
enrollment course.

The Early College Liaison focuses on scholar support, dual enrollment success, and building
school culture while working closely with the Dean of College and Career Readiness on the
growth and development of the Early College program.
