Student Success Coaches provide high-quality academic success coaching for the Center for Academic Success & Tutoring (CAST). The ideal Student Success Coach is friendly and approachable, responsible and reliable, organized and efficient, and can work with a diverse student body while maintaining a professional demeanor. The ideal candidate should also have solid interpersonal communication skills with a genuine desire to assist fellow students.

Unlike Peer Tutors who help students with specific course-related content, Student Success Coaches assist with developing academic success strategies for use in any course. Although Student Success Coaches are not academic advisors and cannot formally advise on which courses to take, they can provide a unique perspective from a student’s point of view on many different facets of college life. The coach may also help with special projects or other duties as needed to support the office.
