What is peer coaching:

Peer coaching is a supportive process where students meet with trained success coaches to discuss their academic, professional, and social lives. Coaches help students explore strategies for academic success, get involved on campus, and connect with helpful resources. Instead of giving direct advice, peer coaches ask thoughtful questions and share new perspectives, empowering students to navigate challenges in their own way.

Peer coaches are available at the Journey Success Center in 209a Rackley for 30-minute one-on-one sessions, Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 1:30pm.
