Pathways Coaches

What's a Pathways Coach?

The pathways coach provides a safe and non-judgmental space with a one-on-one interaction between a pathways coach and the student. They encourage positive support to reduce stress and facilitate action for improvement. Pathways coaches facilitate the discovery of appropriate tools and techniques that best motivate students to propel their success, enhance learning, and reach significant milestones. Students learn vital strategies, such as building positive time management and study systems, creating a healthy life and academic balance, and establishing beneficial support networks. Students become empowered and understand how to unite their major and career choices to their passions and individual values.
