**ISAP Programs Officer**:
Indigenous Student Achievement Pathways (ISAP) welcomes First Nations, Inuit and Métis students to the University of Saskatchewan (USask) with academic and social programming that builds confidence, knowledge and skills.

**Primary Purpose**:The ISAP Programs Officer provides comprehensive support to the ISAP team, College of Arts and Science, with emphasis on ensuring the smooth administration of Indigenous Student Initiatives Pathways (ISAP) first year learning communities and peer mentor activities. The standard for quality of work and timely completion of projects is high. This role requires a proactive and team-based approach in a complex academic environment and the ability to communicate effectively, by a variety of methods, with administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community members.

**Nature of Work**: The ISAP Programs Officer reports to and works closely with the ISAP Team Lead, providing high quality, efficient administrative management of ISAP student programming, thus playing a proactive role in developing and delivering strategies, initiatives and courses that support Indigenous student success.

This position works in a team environment to facilitate, coordinate and implement a variety of programs and initiatives; the ISAP Programs Officer must, therefore, establish and maintain effective and professional working relationships with students, staff, faculty, administration and external partners so as to provide exceptional collaboration, problem solving, and outreach.

This position requires a high level of integrity and independent judgment. The ISAP Programs Officer must deal with emerging and unpredictable events in a timely and sensitive manner, providing effective follow-up on messages and decisions. This role requires the management of multiple projects and the ability to work under pressure, with mínimal supervision, in a fast-paced environment where there are continuous changes, shifting priorities, and frequent interruptions. Competing deadlines and multi-tasking are the norm, so the ISAP Programs Officer must plan workflow to deal with deadlines, peak periods, and unexpected situations.

This is a high volume position and requires the ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced team environment. Given the complex nature of the institutional processes and academic programs involved, the impact of errors is significant for both the unit and, especially, the students involved.

This position is focused on working with Indigenous students and Indigenous communities; familiarity with and understanding of cultural border crossing, socio-economic realities, Indigenous governance, and Indigenous student funding is a critical asset for the role.
