Okay kiddo, so you know how in school, there are people in charge like your principal and your teachers, right? Well, in colleges and universities, there are also people in charge called academic administrators.
Their job is to help make sure that everything runs smoothly so that students can learn and teachers can teach. This means they have to do things like make schedules, hire teachers, make sure everyone is following the rules, and decide what types of classes and programs the school offers.
They also help students with things like financial aid and admissions, and they make sure that the school is providing a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
In short, academic administrators help make sure that your college or university is working the way it should be, so that you can get the best education possible!
