The incumbent reports directly to the Director and works within a team that integrates all recruiting and admissions activities for the Program. The team is made up of the Director, the incumbent, the HBA Recruiting Associate (the “Associate”), the HBA Admissions Coordinator, the AEO Admissions Coordinator, the HBA Admissions Assistant Coordinator, and the HBA Recruiting Assistant (the “Assistant”).
