Administrative Assistant City:
West Lafayette Job Summary The Student Activities and Organizations (SAO) Clerk plays a key role in supporting student engagement by managing the initial review of student activity and event submission requests. This includes the first review of Activity Planning Forms (APFs), communicating with students about questions, policies, procedures, requirements, and next steps, as well as assigning, tracking, and following up on APF statuses. The Clerk also assists with collecting and verifying documents or statuses needed for APFs, reviews and approves Extended Travel Forms, and provides absence letters for students traveling on organization business.
