Student Success Coaching

student success coaching

Michigan State University’s Multi-cultural Initiatives office employs student success coaches who are undergraduate Engineering students. The success coaches are available to help students achieve their educational and professional goals. Using a strengths-based approach, our staff is focused on empowering students through one-on-one meetings and events to further develop students’ time management skills, study skills, professionalism, and other non-cognitive skills. They can direct students to important campus resources for assistance with test-taking, study habits, career planning and much more.

Academic support offered by the Multi-cultural Initiatives office includes:

  • Academic consultation
  • Professional behaviors and skills
  • Practical skills
  • Academic workshops
  • Personal issues
  • Time management and goal setting
  • One-on-one weekly advising
  • Academic skills development workshops
  • Success coaching one-on-one meetings
  • Study tables
