University Coaching & Academic Mentoring at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø
The mission of the UCAM program at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø is to support neurodivergent students’ goals of academic and personal success from convocation to commencement by providing personalized coaching, executive functioning strategies, and community belonging. In UCAM, we believe that relationships are key to student success and persistence in earning a college degree. Our program is centered on a coaching model that brings students and coaches together on the basis of mutual respect, which creates the trusting relationships and empowering environment needed for students to engage in the intensive, hands-on work of building college-level academic skills and independence. Our work extends beyond academics to helping our students find a community in UCAM and their place at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, recognizing that co-curricular engagement and wraparound support are fundamental to college success.
