What is an Academic Coach? (Video)

How Can a Bootcamp Benefit Students?  

Anne Devine, a Lead Academic Coach in the TAAC, has worked in collaboration with Renee Dimino to develop dynamic content that aligns with COS curriculum, and regardless of whether students are enrolled in COS, this Bootcamp has something for all students as it was developed to help students acclimate to college life with tips and strategies for a successful semester.  New workshops will be released all semester—our next Time Management Workshop, "Creating Weekly Schedules and Planning Ahead," is now live on our YouTube Channel!

Bootcamp Topics and Schedule:

I. Introduction to Microsoft Word - This Workshop is Live!  The first workshop of this series is a basic introduction to Word. Students will learn how to save a document, format a paper to APA and MLA standards, and learn different skills to help them navigate through Word.
