To whom it may concern,
I am excited to apply for the Student Services Coordinator position at Universidad de Barcelona. As a bilingual student support professional with a strong background in academic advising, program coordination, and student engagement, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to an institution committed to student success, inclusion, and international collaboration. I am particularly drawn to Universidad de Barcelona's emphasis on research excellence and student-centered services, and I am eager to help strengthen the student experience across academic, administrative, and extra-curricular areas.
In my current role as Student Support Officer at IE University, I coordinate onboarding, advising, and retention initiatives for a diverse cohort of over 1,200 undergraduate and postgraduate students. I led a cross-functional project to redesign our advising workflow using Salesforce and Moodle integrations, which reduced student response time by 40% and increased satisfaction scores on exit surveys from 78% to 91% within a year. I also manage Erasmus+ and international exchange logistics, including visa guidance, housing referrals, and orientation programming; last year I helped increase inbound exchange participation by 22% through targeted outreach and streamlined application support. My daily responsibilities include case management, crisis referrals, event planning, and data reporting in PeopleSoft and Excel — skills that align closely with the coordination, communication, and data-driven decision-making required for this role.
I am motivated by a student-first philosophy: ensuring every learner has access to the guidance, resources, and accommodations they need to thrive. Universidad de Barcelona’s commitment to accessibility, intercultural learning, and research-led teaching resonates with my professional values and long-term goals. I bring practical experience building partnerships across academic departments, career services, and external stakeholders (including local employers and international partner universities) to create cohesive programs that support retention and employability. With strong organizational skills and a collaborative approach, I am confident I can help enhance student pathways from enrollment through graduation and beyond.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background in student advising, program coordination, and systems implementation can support Universidad de Barcelona’s student services objectives. Thank you for considering my application; I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team and supporting student success across the university.
Sincerely,
Sergio Fernández
