Job Overview

Under the direction of the Director of EOP and Project Rebound, this position provides critical support for Project Rebound, a special admissions and support program for students transitioning from incarceration to higher education. The program has helped hundreds of individuals earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees throughout the CSU since 1967. Project Rebound has a proven peer-support model to reduce recidivism, promote restorative justice, and empower individuals through higher education. The Project Rebound Outreach Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the program which includes, but is not limited to, on- and off-campus program planning, outreach, and student support. The Project Rebound Outreach Coordinator also helps to provide lead direction on resource uses and program implementation.

Under the direction of the Director of EOP and Project Rebound, the Outreach Coordinator works with Admissions to facilitate the enrollment of all formerly incarcerated students who qualify for the program based on university as well as program criterion. The Project Rebound Outreach Coordinator leads the assessment of each student’s unique academic and holistic needs and familiarizes them with all necessary CSUSM and community services that will aid them in the community transition and matriculation process. The Project Rebound Outreach Coordinator acts as a liaison between Project Rebound and campus departments (such as Admissions, Financial Aid, Advising, SHCS, DSS, academic departments and EL) and any other departments that further promote the success of Project Rebound.

Along with the Director of EOP and Project Rebound, this position will represent CSUSM to external community and governmental organizations. This position will be called upon as a resource in responding to sensitive equity, crisis, mental health, and individualized issues as they relate to justice-system impacted students who may be experiencing post-traumatic stress. This position will serve as a mentor and advisor to students, and a resource to other faculty/staff positions on campus. This position will work with interns and student assistants to design and deliver programs for graduate and/or undergraduate students, and university employees to promote holistic health, leadership development, equity, social equality, and access to basic needs to address the intersectionality of identities such as justice-involved, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, class, and ability. The position will promote Project Rebound and raise awareness of the excellence of formerly incarcerated students and student concerns through supporting events/programs, written materials, and through representation on campus-wide committees.
