FSP Winter 2021 Coaches Sign Up

Sign-up to be a Coach for The First Year Success Program!

The First Year Success Program (FSP) provides programming and assistance to first-year students on academic probation for the first time. We are looking for diverse graduate students, faculty, and staff who are committed to supporting students as they work towards success for future quarters to come. Due to COVID-19, all students will be enrolled in a Canvas module and will interact with program materials virtually throughout the quarter.

The requirements for FSP Coaches are as following: 
  1. Complete the following survey by November 20th so that we can gather information regarding your preferences, background, and availability.
  2. Attend the virtual FSP Coaches' Training on December 4th from 10:00am-11:30am to learn about the program structure, timeline, materials, and more. 
    1. Zoom link will be provided via email.
    2. Make-ups are available by request - email khitch01@calpoly.edu and continue completing this form.
  3. Serve as an FSP Coach for a small group of students throughout the first half of Winter quarter. 

We acknowledge that Zoom fatigue is something that we are all experiencing, so we appreciate your willingness to participate! Our students need our support now more than ever.
- Kara Hitchcock, FSP Coordinator for the Mustang Success Center (khitch01@calpoly.edu)
