Become a Coach

Coaches are responsible for meeting with their mentee once a semester. The meetings are not limited to an office setting. Meetings can be in the form of outings and activities, (i.e. lunch, coffee, sporting event, community program). The meetings will serve as an opportunity to academically support, provide guidance, and resources to the student. Assessment will need to be completed after every meeting. At the end of each semester the coaches will come to together to further asset their mentees.

Coaches are required to attend the kick off conference luncheon, which typically takes place on a Saturday in September.

Please Note: There is no compensation for being a coach.
