  • Support preparation of quarterly updates and annual reports for funders and internal partners.
  • Coordinate with CU Boulder administrative units as needed to support compliance and documentation.

Communications & Partner Engagement:
  • Support internal and external communications related to Q-SCALE activities, including presentations, summaries, and impact materials.
  • Assist with capturing student experiences, partner feedback, and program highlights for reporting and visibility.
  • Serve as a point of contact for scheduling and coordination with project partners and collaborators.
