Student Success Coaches

Setting You Up For Success

We know that making the transition from high school to college can be a challenge. That’s why each first-year student at Millsaps is connected with a Student Success Coach the summer before they arrive on campus. In consultation with the student and a team of faculty, Success Coaches build custom schedules for our students’ first semesters designed around their academic strengths, long-term goals and personal interests.

Once students arrive on campus, our Success Coaches provide first-year students with:

General academic advising, including schedule building, any necessary schedule changes and 4-year academic planning
Holistic support for the transition from high school to college
Guidance on accessing college resources, such as tutoring, counseling and the health center
Coaching on vital college skills such as managing workload, taking notes and communicating with faculty
Assistance navigating challenges that may be hindering academic or personal success
Encouragement to explore, define and reach personal and professional goals.
