Travel to other campuses will be infrequent and based solely on program needs to maintain consistency in service delivery.

Operational Responsibilities

Partner with the Birmingham Campus Director and Administrative Staff to ensure accurate data entry, financial reporting, and timely submission of grant documentation.

Maintain all program-related data for internal and external reporting.
