Success Coach

Success Coach

SSC Success Coaches provide individualized academic coaching on study skills, time management, and goal setting while serving as the first point of contact for students entering the SSC. They create a welcoming environment, connect students with resources, and represent the SSC at campus events.  

The ideal candidate effectively manages their own academic responsibilities, demonstrates strong time management skills, and serves as a role model for peers, exhibiting high levels of academic achievement and engagement. 

Requirements

- Front Desk Management: Serve as the first point of contact at the Student Success Center (SSC), welcoming students, families, faculty, and staff. Aid by answering questions, offering guidance, or referring visitors to appropriate campus departments. 

- Tracking & Record Keeping: Assist in monitoring and maintaining records of daily SSC usage, including student check-ins.

- Mentor Collective (MC) Participation: MC is a student engagement platform that helps first-year students feel supported by pairing them with successful upperclassmen mentors. As a mentor, you'll be expected to engage with your assigned mentees for up to 6 hours per month. These regular interactions help first-year students stay connected to campus life, build meaningful relationships, and navigate their transition to college more successfully.

- Resource Referral: Maintain a strong understanding of campus resources and actively connect students with appropriate services, which may include escorting them to relevant offices or buildings.

Encourage students to take advantage of available resources by participating in outreach efforts such as tabling events, Admissions & Recruitment (A&R) Days, Open House, and the Miner Welcome Bash.
