Peer Engagement Coaches
A Peer Engagement Coach is here to guide, support and provide helpful resources to students who may need help getting engaged with opportunities on and off campus.
What happens during a session with a Peer Engagement Coach?
Students can make a fifteen-minute appointment with a Peer Engagement Coach through Starfish relating to a topic they would like to discuss. Topics include “What is Engagement?”, “Questions about the grant program”, “Help me find experiences”, and “What’s Next?”. During this appointment, students will talk with a friendly Student Engagement Network Intern who will guide them through the student’s topic of choice, and how student engagement can transform their college experience.
Interns are listed below along with their majors, interests, and schedules. Make an appointment today to learn about the grant program, finding your why, completing an engagement experience, or the importance of telling your story!
