One Wave workshops are peer-led conversations that provide foundational knowledge and skills on how each of us can help keep our peers and communities safe from sexual violence.

Success Coaches assist students in meeting their goals. To do this, Coaches provide students with questions, observations, feedback, encouragement, support, and accountability. Unlike a therapist’s exploration of origins of emotional or psychological trauma that can be long-term and intensive, a coach explores behaviors, values, motivators, and some emotions. Coaching is primarily focused on the present and future, with a concentration on time-limited, action-oriented results. Come learn how to be motivated as we enter the midterm season. Success Coaches will discuss study strategies, time management tips, and more. Dinner will be provided!
