Description

Students who volunteer to participate in Step UP are paired with a faculty or staff coach who provides one-on-one support for managing the challenges of college.  There are no agendas or set goals; instead, students are encouraged to question, share, and explore ideas with a caring listener. Step-Up students usually meet with their coach for one hour, once a week.
