What does a day in the life of an associate director look like?
I spend most of my day online. This time is typically filled with meetings with students, partners, and other university staff. I also dedicate time to administrative tasks.
These administrative duties include writing business proposals and partnership agreements. I work on improving processes to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Additionally, I work with prospective students, which involves email marketing and following up with them during the application process. I review their applications and help them select suitable classes, serving as their advisor.
Finally, I plan our summer institute, which takes place abroad each summer. I also occasionally organize other engagement events for current students and alumni who are located abroad.
