**About Western**:
**About Us**:
The Department of Management and Organizational Studies provides a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of management, emphasizing the social science and evidence-based foundations of management education. We have approximately 3,500 undergraduate students studying six academic areas: Accounting, Consumer Behavior, Finance for Management and Organizational Studies, Human Resource Management, and Commercial Aviation Management, Management and Legal Studies. Our curriculum combines each of these six academic streams of core management education with the opportunity to obtain a broader educational perspective from the social sciences and other disciplines. Our focus on Evidence-Based Management, or EBM, emphasizes the use of evidence in management decision-making. EBM supports our interdisciplinary nature and prepares our students to make meaningful contributions to management decisions in the organizations they join.
We offer many experiences for our students outside of our academic programming such as industry internships, flight training for our Commercial Aviation Management students, and two very active student groups: Dan Management Student Association (DMSA) and the CAM Council. We provide all academic requirements, fully accredited, for the Accounting Professional designation (CPA) and the Human Resource Management designation (CHRP).
**Responsibilities**:
The Undergraduate Assistant is one of four Undergraduate Assistants who are responsible supporting the effective and efficient administration of the undergraduate programs within DAN Management and Organizational Studies. The Undergraduate Assistant will act as the main point of contact and will provide information to students regarding admission processes, progression requirements, program eligibility, course selection and graduation requirements. The Undergraduate Assistant will also act as a resource for faculty members, students, prospective students, parents, and the public providing guidance regarding University and departmental policies and procedures in response to inquiries, and providing referrals to other individuals or resources as required. The Undergraduate Assistant will create and maintain student records, produce course and exam schedules, coordinate instructor/course evaluation processes and assist with the planning and coordination of student recruitment events.
