Peer Coaches

The Nighthawk Navigator peer coaches are upperclassmen who are trained to work in partnership with our professional Academic Success Coaches. Peer coaching is a focused meeting between a Navigator and a student with the purpose of providing tools important to academic success. Peer coaching is NOT subject specific; rather, it focuses on skills and strategies for more effective learning in any course.
