The Co-Workers program is designed to help you implement effective learning and studying strategies while completing your assignments during the session. The Co-Workers session will begin with a 10-20 minute coaching conversation with a peer academic coach focused on your goals and plan for the working session. The remaining time will be spent independently working on your assignments alongside the peer academic coach. You may choose if you would like to schedule a 60 or 90 minute session. This resource is helpful for students who are seeking support in task initiation (Example: "I know what I need to do, but I have a difficult time getting started" or "I feel more focused when someone else is working alongside me"). Schedule your Co-Workers session through Compass.
