Carleton’s Student Coaching Lauded by Bloomberg Businessweek

Bloomberg Businessweek covered the topic of student coaching to help with first-year retention rate and student achievement in an April 19 article, talking about Carleton’s efforts in the area. Kathy Evertz, director of Carleton’s Academic Support Center, noted that 30 of Carleton’s 500 or so first-year students take advantage of the service each year.  “We’ll get students who finally admit they have a problem and realize they are not getting the grades they should be getting,” Evertz said. “They come to the coach because they just want to get more out of school and out of their college life.”
