Helping Students Succeed: Academic Consultations and Student Success Coaching
At Student Success and First Year Experience we know that academic success can sometimes feel out of reach.
That's why we've created two different ways for students to find the help they need:
- Academic Consultations made for all students
- Student Success Coaching made primarily for freshmen
These meetings are designed to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to academics. We have a wide range of strategies that may help you refine your note taking, time management, test preparation, and organization skills.
Please come prepared with some class materials so that we can practice some strategies.

Student Success Coaching
The Graduate Assistant Success Coaching program was implemented to assist freshmen in transitioning to college life during their freshman year.
Students are linked to a coach who can assist them with anything college-related related, like:
- Refining your college-student success skills
- Improving your time management
- Overcoming test anxiety
- Surviving roommate drama
- Connecting to resources on campus, such as student organizations, the Career Center, etc.
Meetings last approximately 30-60 minutes once a week.

Meet Your Success Coach!
I'm excited to work with you this year! I'm originally from Grenada, Mississippi, and I began my journey here at UM in 2022 to complete my undergraduate studies in Elementary Education. I'm currently a graduate student in the M.A. in Higher Education/Student Personnel program. My passion lies in exploring student development and improving retention. I look forward to meeting and learning alongside you!
