  • “Having Chloe as a part of my support system this past school year was crucial in my success. She truly is such a gem of a coach and a human being. I cannot say enough great things about her, and I cannot thank the Success Coaching office for matching us!”

    ~Aidan, Class of 2027

  • “Success Coaching is helpful to any student. They are here to support the students to make sure that they are using their full potential.”

    ~Sammy, Class of 2026

  • “Chloe has been very patient and understanding. I recommend her so much to anyone looking for guidance or advice!”

    ~Grace, Class of 2027

  • “I would highly recommend my success coach. After a while she became less of a coach and more of a friend that I can turn to help me get back on track with my work. I feel comfortable voicing personal issues I’m going through with her on top of academic concerns, and she was a huge help. Truly couldn’t have done as well as I did this semester without her.”

    ~Will, Class of 2025

  • “They are personable and understanding. They'll help you organize yourself and break down work you're struggling with.”

    ~Jacob, Class of 2027

  • “My coach is a nice guy, and he helped me a lot on my journey; Both academically and mentally. Even if you think you don’t need help with anything, it’s still nice to have someone to talk to. He created an open and welcoming atmosphere. So, I never felt judged, if anything, it felt like I had someone in my corner encouraging me and helping me along the way!”

    ~Miprecious, Class of 2027

  • “Chloe’s ability to connect and relate shared experiences was very beneficial to me; I felt so much less alone knowing that I had her support.”

    ~Avery, Class of 2027
