TRiO - Joe J. Palencia, M.Ed.

Academic Support Specialist (Academic Coach)
It is important to note that academic coaching is different from academic advising or counseling.

“Academic coaching is an interactive process that focuses on the personal relationship created between the student and the coach. The coach challenges the student to think about (their) personal and/or professional goals in order to relate them to (their) academic (and) educational goals" -National Academic Advising Association (NACADA)
