Success Coach

Summary

The Success Coach will be a student’s point of contact for everything at the University—from academic advisement, to campus involvement, to financial aid counseling, to career development—helping the student chart and navigate an individual path as part of the LIU community. A coach works one‑on‑one with a student to create a success plan tailored to his/her/their needs, goals, and interests, guiding students to choose courses, select a major, find scholarships, internships, and study abroad opportunities, and launch their careers.
