Click to hear about Student Success Coaching.
Student Success Coaching is a peer coaching program that assigns an upperclassman or graduate level coach to each first-year student to support them in their transition to and journey through DePaul.
Student Success Coaches meet with their assigned students one-on-one via Zoom, and together they reflect on the first year student’s strengths, challenges and vision for the future, while creating an action plan to meet their idea of success.
Your success coach can help you:
- Reflect on your strengths and target areas for growth
- Establish short-term academic and personal goals
- Identify campus resources most appropriate to help you on your way
- Improve time management skills
- Join or establish student organizations
- Navigate your virtual college experience
To get connected with a Student Success Coach, email
successcoach@depaul.edu or call 773-325-7360.
Meet the Coaches
Ryan Napue I really value making friends in my classes to create study groups, and asking the professor lots of questions when I'm confused. This might be a little more challenging in the online environment, but I think they'll be even more important for keeping me focused and motivated since I won't be physically in class.
Sofia Halili Get creative with your routine and add some spice for things to look forward to! Instead of having your regular black coffee in the morning, try dalgona (whipped) coffee! Add bright laces to your running sneakers, or journal with colorful ink. These tiny adjustments have made my day a little bit more exciting!
