• Monitor compliance with delivery formats (e.g., the 51% in-person rule for BSW and blended MSW programs).
• Assist in writing reaffirmation reports, interim reviews, and audits.

• Coordinate with leadership to support the creation of faculty teaching schedules.
• Help organize faculty evaluations and maintain scheduling tools across modalities.
