Success Coaching
The Student Success Center is a dedicated space within the college campus that offers valuable resources and services to help students thrive academically, professionally, and personally. At the heart of this center are the Success Coaches, whose primary role is to inspire, guide, and support students on their journey towards achieving their short- and long-term goals.
The Success Coaches provide personalized, one-on-one meetings with students, offering guidance and assistance tailored to each student’s specific needs and circumstances. They help students develop strategies to align their everyday actions with their aspirations, making sure they stay on track and make progress towards their goals.
In the context of the college experience, Success Coaches address various aspects of a student’s life. They assist with academic planning, time management, study skills, and test-taking strategies to enhance academic performance.
Additionally, they support students in exploring and preparing for future career opportunities, providing resources such as resume building, interview preparation, and internship opportunities.
