"The past two semesters, with each success coach, really did help me and without them I wouldn't be where I am today. Because of their help and guidance I can confidently go into my third year knowing I will be successful while much less stressed. "
Success Coaches are peer advisors trained to assist with time management, study habits, social interaction, and more. Our coaches come from a variety of backgrounds and majors, but they all share the same goal: help their fellow students succeed at Michigan Tech.
