We’d like to remind you of the services that you have available to you as a fellow! 

Whether you're continuing or just joining, we’re excited to help you reach your academic and personal goals. 

We’ve also updated our website to include more resources specifically for fellows, so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think! 

Starting next month, you’ll receive two newsletters—one in the middle and one at the end of each month. These will keep you informed about key resources, opportunities, and events. But for now, here’s an overview of the universal support you can access right away:

Universal Support

• 1:1 Holistic Coaching: You’ll meet with your affiliate coach every six weeks to ensure you're staying on track with your goals.
• Paid Monthly Surveys: Share how you're feeling through monthly surveys, and receive stipends for participating. 
• Career Exploration Tools: Gain access to career-building tools like our LinkedIn Group and PathwayU to explore your interests and prepare for the future. 
• Conversations with Your Coach: Regular talks with your coach to navigate academic challenges, career goals, and personal growth. 

If you need extra support—don’t hesitate to reach out to your coach. They can connect you with more specialized resources, such as: 

• Transcript and Degree Audit Reviews to ensure you’re on the right path toward graduation
• New: Ideal Candidate Training for career readiness and skill-building
• Emergency Persistence Dollars and New: Working Credit Workshops for financial support and credit-building resources
