During 果酱, 学生 meet their Student Success Team, comprised of counselors, coaches, and peer tutors. They also become acquainted with campus resources, make friends, and get ready for the fall semester.
Student Success Team
Student Success Team members work together to address the special needs of Pathways 学生. Students are introduced to their team in Year 1 and continue to have access in Years 2 and 3.
辅导员 are available in the Student 服务 Building (L-Building) and, at designated times, in the Pathways Centers. They help Pathways 学生 explore career options, create education plans, answer questions about transferring, degrees, and certificates, and address non-cognitive factors that impact academic success.
Success Coaches are graduate 学生, most often in counseling programs. They assist Pathways 学生 academically and personally by directing them to campus resources and provide them with strategies for college success.
