In the Student Success Center, success coaching exists to build and maintain a foundation that supports students through their collegiate learning experience while supporting the explorations that establish a deep connection to UWM and their personal understanding of success during their time as an undergraduate. In the coaching offered in the SSC, our staff works with students to:
- increase self-motivation
- increase self-efficacy
- establish improved behaviors of interdependence
- increase self-awareness
- expand opportunities for learning
- foster creative, critical thinking, & problem-solving skills essential for the classroom and beyond UWM
- develop skills focused on supporting academic skills, financial management, professional/leadership development, and major exploration
- alleviate effects of institutional roadblocks
Our center provides holistic coaching support for seven (7) student-facing identified programs known as: First Year Forward, Fostering Success, Fund for Wisconsin Scholars, MKE Scholars, Nadella Scholars, Re-Entry Student Success, and Smart Start (joint efforts with UWM Multicultural offices). Each of these programs exist to address a campus-identified student success and retention initiative created to close equity gaps and increase the number of students persisting through graduation. Program requirements and opportunities for financial support will vary across each of them.
