Welcome back to campus, Bears! This spring the Center for Academic Success and Transition (CAST) is excited to welcome a new success coach! Success coaches are graduate students who have been in your shoes as undergraduates and are here to provide academic and professional guidance to MSU students.

- Area of Academic Interest:
My current degree path is for the Communication MA program. My undergrad degrees are in Psychology and Communication Studies with a certificate in Organizational Communication.
- Beginning of Semester Advice:
My beginning of the semester advice is to set yourself up for success! Look over your syllabi and write down the due dates. Talk to your professors. Use a planner or calendar to keep track of assignments, plan study times, and stay on track.
- Why do you think students should meet with a success coach:
It’s a good idea to meet with a success coach because we are here to help students succeed. So, whether you need help now or are trying to be proactive in problem-solving, we meet students where they are at and help them get to where they want to be.
- What is one way you practice self care:
Request a success coach today to be connected with one of our amazing success coaches! If you want some more information about some of our other success coaches Jack Baumgart and Erica Batson they have fun introductions as well. We hope to see you soon at the CAST office (Library 116).
