About STEM Peer Coaches
STEM Peer coaches give individualized, ongoing support, and help students take action toward their goals. Peer Coaches help students navigate their thinking in becoming self-directed learners. One-on-one conversations with a STEM undergraduate student will focus on goal setting and developing a clear vision of goals and next steps.
STEM Peer Coaches will have:
- Planning conversations on how to be successful
- Reflecting conversations focused on performance
- Prioritizing conversations to construct plans for the next steps
STEM Peer Coaches will also share time management skills, study skills, and self-advocacy skills with the students they coach. As a result of some conversations, coaches may refer students to campus-wide resources such as tutoring, the writing center, the wellness center, and a variety of other resources as needed.
