College Coach Approach

You will be connected with an employee of the college (College Coach), who will meet with you once every two weeks for no more than 20 minutes. Your coach will listen to you, help you clarify any issues, and help keep you on-track, motivated, and connected. They may also refer you to the appropriate college resource when needed. It is critical that you meet with your coach on a regular basis throughout your first year. The benefits of this connection are endless.
