• The program coordinator role is also asked to balance administrative tasks with creative work, contributing to “beyond-the-classroom" activities for students that serve to reinforce IE Impact learning objectives, as well as contributing to the organization of training activities for faculty.
• The program coordinator role engages with many different and transversal stakeholders across the entire university (staff, students, faculty, guests) and such interactions require professionalism, intercultural skills, maturity and empathy.
