What areas can my Pathway Coach support?
Each of our Pathway Coaches represent one of the seven academic communities your program is housed in. Depending on your community, your Pathway Coach can work with you to create a success plan, integrating your goals & ambitions with the academic expectations of our courses & degree programs. Additionally, your Pathway Coach can ensure you are supported in other areas to honor the dynamics that potentially affect your success, both in & outside of the classroom.
Our coaches work with students at various points in their academic journey, assisting them in a variety of ways including connecting to support services on campus, student involvement/engagement, community resources, & career exploration.
