Coaching Hours

Fall 2020

COVID-19 Update: Most coaches have transitioned to remote teaching. Please reach out to each individual coach to check appointment availability and the best way to connect.

Coaches work one-on-one with students to guide them on projects and help problem-solve. Students are advised to consult a coach if they have tried something themselves and it hasn’t worked to their satisfaction.
