School of Education Student Life Coach Office
Objective
The SOE Life Coaches are avaliable to all SOE students who are feeling lost or stuck in their personal and academic lives. The office is a place where anyone can come to talk or vent, recieve support, and plan goals for their future.
What we do
Most common issues with students are setting realistic personal and academic goals, identifying significant obstacles in students' day to day lives, providing resources, and pointing students in the right direction to get their degree completed. Students are welcome to stop by the office during walk-in hours, or can call to schedule an individual appointment. Also, some students find it more comfortable to use email as a source to discuss their struggles. Email responses are virtually 24/7, and there is an email list that students can join to recieve bimonthly messages from the Life Coaches.
Call or email to schedule an appointment, ask any questions, or get to know the Life Coaches.
