Goucher's Success Advisors strive to promote student success by enhancing the academic advising and student support experiences of all Goucher College students. Every first-year student at Goucher is assigned a Success Advisor who works with each advisee from before they step foot on campus and until they declare their major(s).
Goucher's Success Advisors believe that advising is a two-way responsibility, a collaboration between the student and the advisor. It is imperative to have dynamic conversations that encourage learning and ultimately support students' growth and development. The Success Advisor's overall role - advising, mentoring, and campus and community collaborations – embraces the strengths of the holistic nature of a liberal arts education.
Goucher's Success Advisors assist students with academic planning and navigating the resources and expectations of being a Goucher student. Success Advisors help students identify their passions, goals, and interests and coach students in developing and deepening their academic life skills.
Goucher’s Success Advisors support their advisees when facing academic, financial, or personal challenges, making referrals as appropriate.
