What is Peer Success Coaching?
Peer Success Coaching, offered by Academic Continuity & Engagement (ACE), is an individualized support service designed to help undergraduate students succeed at DePaul. Through regularly scheduled one-on-one meetings, Peer Support Coaches work with students to address challenges that may hinder one’s academic and personal success.
During a success session, Peer Support Coaches help students with executive functioning skill development & academic strategies, including goal setting, time management, note-taking, learning & study strategies, identifying CliftonStrengths, and campus resource navigation.
Peer Success Coaching services are provided by ACE in collaboration with the Office of Multicultural Student Success.
