The K-State Student Union is excited to announce two coordinator openings in the Student Programs and Involvement (SPI) department! While each position has distinct responsibilities, both offer opportunities to support student engagement, leadership development, and meaningful campus experiences. 

Because the skills and experiences needed to succeed in these roles are similar, SPI will conduct a combined search process for both positions. Candidates are encouraged to explore both opportunities and may be considered for either or both roles.

Coordinator / Student Leadership & Engagement 

This position supports student engagement and leadership development through three primary areas: co-curricular engagement programming, co-advising and supporting the Student Governing Association (SGA), and advancing the department’s strategic enrollment management efforts. Additional responsibilities include overseeing SGA-supported initiatives, such as the SafeRide rideshare program, and supervising student employees. 

Coordinator / Student Programs 

This position primarily advises assigned committees of the Union Program Council (UPC), K-State’s student activities organization. Responsibilities include coordinating program logistics; communicating and collaborating with community stakeholders; contracting performers, vendors, and venues; and implementing safety, security, and risk-reduction strategies. The role also supports UPC business operations, including budget management and supply procurement. 

What We’re Looking For 

Both positions are entry-level opportunities well suited for recent bachelor’s and master’s degree graduates interested in pursuing a career in student affairs, hospitality management, or human resources. Successful candidates will demonstrate: 

Strong interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills 

Attention to detail and effective organizational skills 

At least six months of related experience through undergraduate involvement, student leadership, campus programming, or professional employment 

How to Apply - One application. Two opportunities. 

Submit an application for either coordinator position at the link below. If you would like to be considered for both positions, you only need to submit one application. Simply notify the search committee chair, Sara Heiman (sjheiman@k-state.edu), that you would like to be considered for both roles. 

The combined search process allows the committee to consider your skills, experience, and interests in relation to both opportunities, helping identify the position that may be the best fit for you. 

We look forward to learning more about you and your interest in joining the Student Programs and Involvement team!
