Program Mission

Trained peers coach students to identify, develop, and implement effective strategies that support their academic goals.

Philosophy 

We believe peers are uniquely positioned to support one another in coaching progress toward academic goals. We believe all students grow and learn when they are engaged and curious. We believe every level of personal and academic progress relies on small, consistently built habits. We believe deep learning requires space to play with ideas and reflect. We believe that human connections are the basis for engagement. We believe coaching grows the coach and the client. 

Location

Housed within the JMU Learning Centers on the 1st floor of the Student Success Center, Peer Academic Coaching is available to all JMU students. Sessions can be held in SSC 1155 or online. Contact Matt Trybus with questions, or make an appointment today!
