General Function
The Academic Administrative Assistant III is the primary or lead departmental administrative support position in an academic teaching department with primary responsibility for a wide variety of complex processes, which generally includes both very active purchasing of specialized equipment and supplies and a large volume of complex financial recordkeeping and reporting responsibilities. These higher level responsibilities are completed independently with limited supervision and are a result of departmental activities (the nature of the work, activities, and events associated with the discipline, multiple active grants, internal departmental accounting requirements, etc.) and are well-established, ongoing, and unlikely to change due to changes in personnel at the department head or administrative support level. The Academic Administrative Assistant III assigns and/or monitors the work of a second full-time administrative support person, student workers, or Graduate Assistants.

Key responsibilities include:

• Serving as the primary point of contact for student, faculty, and community inquiries through phone, email, and in-person interactions.

• Coordinating meetings, events, faculty activities, and special projects.
• Supporting student needs by responding to inquiries and directing students to appropriate resources and services.
• Overseeing daily office operations to ensure efficient and consistent support across both campuses.
• Monitoring and maintaining office equipment, technology resources, and supply inventories to support uninterrupted operations.
• Serving as a liaison between faculty, students, university departments, and external partners.
• Managing multiple priorities while exercising independent judgment and strong organizational skills.

By coordinating daily operations, supporting faculty and students, maintaining critical scheduling functions, and ensuring the smooth operation of office resources and equipment, this position is essential to the success of the School of Nursing.
