The Auxiliary Services Academic Liaison serves as a strategic, relationship focused partner between the UGA Bookstore, university faculty, academic departments, campus leadership, and Auxiliary Services to support intentional, timely, and affordable course materials selection aligned with instructional goals and student success.

This role promotes and sustains the effective use of the UGA Bookstore's online adoption platform and related academic resources. The Liaison works collaboratively with faculty to explore and implement course material options-including print, digital, Open Educational Resources ( OER), and access programs-that balance instructional intent, affordability, access, and compliance requirements.

Success in the role requires the ability to navigate complex academic environments with credibility and discretion; communicate clearly and collaboratively across diverse stakeholders; and foster trust-based partnerships that reflect academic culture and shared governance.

In collaboration with the UGA Bookstore and Course Materials teams, the Liaison helps translate academic decisions into effective operational execution, ensuring continuity from planning through delivery.
