Student Success Peer Coaching

What is the Peer Coaching Program?

The peer coaching program is a free service to current Westmont students that provides a space to seek peer support and guidance. Through private, personalized coaching sessions, students will receive assistance in navigating their college experience. Coaches work with students to identify goals, connect to resources, and learn new life and academic skills.

Who are Peer Coaches?
