Abstract
"Over the past twenty years, colleges and universities have taken steps to address key metrics of retention, persistence and graduation rates. Due to the increased costs of obtaining a college education, both students and the government are focused on outcomes. In turn, these post-secondary institutions have pushed forward with a number of initiatives to improve results. Coaching is a very common tool at most institutions that have been chosen in an attempt to move this needle.
The effectiveness of these programs has been questioned and studied. This presentation will provide a brief overview of some studies and corresponding literature about student coaching at the college level. The presenter will offer some practical assessments from recent experiences in student coaching in the Legal Support and Services program, which demonstrate some instances of success, and in turn may assist in developing this form of outreach to all PG students.
