About the Position:
The Administrative Assistant is the operational anchor of the School of Art office and the first point of contact for the School. This is a hands-on role for an experienced administrative professional who can run the daily operations of a busy academic office with minimal direction: managing complex scheduling, processing purchases in compliance with university and state policy, coordinating events and visitor experience, maintaining the School's systems and communications, and working within an academic unit with over 50 faculty and staff and over 700 students. The position calls for judgment, discretion, and follow-through.
Responsibilities:
Office Operations and Purchasing
  • Monitors and triages the AVT email account, responding and routing as needed;
  • Maintains the organization and readiness of the front desk, conference room, and shared administrative spaces;

  • Processes food and beverage requests, and manages office supply inventory and reordering;
  • Coordinates vendor paperwork, quotes, and routine procurement steps, routing items requiring approval to the Director or designated approver;
  • Supports contract and vendor documentation and tracking; and
  • Maintains accurate records and files, and handles sensitive information with discretion.

Scheduling, Coordination, and Systems
  • Coordinates logistics for meetings and School events;
  • Manages complex scheduling across faculty, staff, and reservable spaces, resolving conflicts independently;
  • Reserves School spaces using 25Live and assists with coordinating advising appointments using Navigate Mason; and
  • Supports Director and Advisors with data entry and submission of adjunct faculty assignments.
Visitor Experience, Tours, and Communications
  • Greets and assists students, staff, faculty, vendors, and visitors, and answers and directs office phones professionally;
  • Schedules and occasionally leads guest tours of the School of Art, representing the School to prospective students and visitors;
  • Generates room charts, posts and removes building signage, and unlocks classrooms; and
  • Maintains the listserv and distribution lists, and assists with distribution of program related reports for internal and external audiences.
Other Related Duties
  • Performs other related administrative tasks as assigned by the Director.

Required Qualifications:
These qualifications are required. Applicants should demonstrate a track record of independent administrative work, not simply exposure to it.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage the daily operations of a busy office, prioritizing and following through on competing demands with minimal supervision;
  • Demonstrated proficiency with MS Office, including Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, at a level that includes building and maintaining spreadsheets and formatting professional documents;
  • Demonstrated experience processing purchases in compliance with formal financial policies and procedures;
  • Demonstrated skill managing complex calendars and scheduling systems and resolving conflicts independently;
  • Strong written and verbal communication skill, including professional correspondence and triage of a shared email account;
  • Proven ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion;
  • Demonstrated problem-solving ability and sound judgment in a fast-paced environment; and
  • Ability to schedule and lead guest tours and to provide responsive, professional customer service to a diverse community.
