The Office of Admissions at UNC is seeking a dynamic and organized Coordinator of Events to join their Events and Visits team. This position plays a crucial role in the university's recruitment efforts by managing the logistical coordination and operational execution of both on- and off-campus admissions events. Reporting to the Associate Director of Events and Visits, the Coordinator of Events is responsible for ensuring seamless delivery of high-quality programs that engage prospective and admitted students, their families, and various community partners.
