Success Coaches

Success Coaching = learning how to do college

Being a college student is a learned skill. You need:

• Effective study habits
• Time management skills
• Ability to balance academic and personal commitments
• Goal setting and prioritization skills
• Focus and concentration
• Understanding of how to navigate and access resources

All of these take practice. A Success Coach can help you develop these skills and more to make sure you get the most out of college. Best of all, tools you gain will serve you through your career and life.
