  • Identify and address academic, social, and personal barriers impacting student success, providing coaching or referral to appropriate campus resources (e.g., tutoring, counseling, career services, disability services).
  • Develop and facilitate workshops, presentations, and programming that promote retention and progression for students at every stage, from first-year seminars to graduation readiness.
  • Support campus-wide initiatives such as New Student Orientation, Welcome Week, Rise Academy cohorts, Sophomore Academy, Transfer Pathways, and Open Houses.
  • Collaborate with faculty, advisors, and staff to enhance communication, coordinate student support, and accelerate progress toward degree completion.
  • Collect, analyze, and interpret student data to evaluate effectiveness of interventions and improve services.
  • Participate in professional development, team meetings, and training sessions to remain current on best practices in student success coaching and higher education.
