  Academic coaching

Academic coaching is a partnership between students who seek to improve their study strategies and peer coaches who are trained to listen, ask thought-provoking questions, help students identify resources, and set goals.

 

  Career advising

Career Services is here to help you pave your post-college path. Meet with our advisor to explore career options, perfect your resume and cover letter, prepare applications for internships and jobs, practice interviewing, make connections with employers, and take control of your future!
