Description
Job Summary
The Project Manager for Global Initiatives is responsible for the successful
execution of the G100 Global Leaders ThM Scholarship Program, a cohort-based,
five-year international program in which 100 students study online for three
years from their home countries, then relocate to Dallas for two years of
residential study to complete the Master of Theology degree. This role serves
as the operational and administrative hub of G100, coordinating all program
phases from student recruitment and enrollment through graduation. The Project
Manager manages program timelines, student communications, institutional
workflows, and cross-departmental relationships to ensure smooth program
delivery and student success. This role is essential to G100's sustainability
and directly supports the Senior Director's strategic oversight and decision-
making. While initially focused on G100, this role has potential to expand to
support other strategic initiatives within Global Initiatives as the
department grows.

Serve as central coordinator between students, mentors, academic
departments, Enrollment Services, International Student Development
(ISD), Housing, Financial Aid, and DSO/Immigration Services.
Coordinate student transitions to Dallas: housing, course scheduling, visa

Manage G100 communications and execute key events (orientations, cohort
check-ins, degree ceremonies).
Monitoring & Controlling

Academic Advising and ISD to identify at-risk students for proactive
support.
Compile G100 metrics (enrollment, retention, completion rates, mentor
engagement) and prepare status reports for leadership.
Coordinate referrals to academic and support resources in collaboration

allocations.
Coordinate with Finance on scholarship fund disbursement and track student
