• Maintaining meticulous program documentation for ongoing program evaluation and impact measurement. Liaising with the university's pre- and post-award teams to help apply for and report on grants.
• Meeting preparation and follow through - collecting agenda items, coordinating logistics, keeping minutes, and following through on the action items.
