Coordinator, Student Events

General Summary This is a transparency posting due to a reorganization. No applications will be accepted. Who We Are With three campuses along Colorado's Front Range, FRCC is the state's largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities. Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the "Top Online Colleges" in the country by Newsweek . One of FRCC's main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college's strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC's focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body. The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive. FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We're looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence. Who You Are The Office of Student Life & Engagement impacts student success and retention by providing leadership and support for student activities, student organizations, identity and belonging programming, co-curricular programming, wellness programing, and Student Government Association. The Student Events Coordinator enhances student engagement by coordinating Student Engagement events, managing room reservations for internal programming, and assisting with marketing efforts targeted to the student community. This position plays a key operational role in designing, scheduling, and executing high-quality programs that foster involvement, belonging, and campus vibrancy. Using tools such as Ad Astra, EAB Navigate360, and institutional software systems, the coordinator ensures that Student Engagement events are well-planned, equitable, accessible, and effectively communicated to the student body. The role requires high levels of organization, customer service, cross-campus collaboration, and logistical planning. This position does have the opportunity to work remotely occasionally but does require a strong on-campus presence. This position will travel regularly between Westminster, Larimer and Boulder County Campuses for event support.
