The Off-Campus Student Outreach Coordinator (SOC) Program is a team of student staff who work with off-campus students living in near-campus/downtown neighborhoods and apartment communities.

We understand that students are growing and learning necessary skills for life after Carolina, including how to be good neighbors and participate in safe activities. Our ability to increase the quality and frequency of outreach to off-campus students as it pertains to health, safety and quality of life issues in the community, is critical. By reducing incidents of social gatherings and parties that are non-compliant with Carolina's COVID19 Community Standards and local, state, and federal guidelines as it pertains to COVID19, as well as other issues of wellbeing including misuse of alcohol and other drugs, we can help students fully participate in the local community and build a stronger Chapel Hill.

An understanding of, sensitivity to, and willingness to work with a diverse student and community population;
A desire to serve as a resource to and provide assistance to students;
