Communicating with Professors
We assist students in brainstorming effective and professional ways to communicate their questions, concerns, and interests with their professors in person, during office hours, and through email. Additionally, we guide students in learning how to build long lasting relationships of trust with their professors.

Goal Setting and Motivation
We guide students through concept mapping, vision boarding, and long/short-term goal setting. We ask students to uncover their “why.” Why are they at an institution of higher learning? Why are they seeking a higher education degree and more opportunities? Knowing their “why” can assist students in recognizing what motivates them and keeps them going. Students learn how to break down their bigger goals into smaller tasks.
