The Empowerment, Leadership, and Mentorship (ELM) program aims to provide support for positive change of academic performance, leadership and the development of a conscientious community.
Drawn primarily from highly recommended and qualified graduate students from the psychology department, the coaches treat the student seeking coaching with empathy and respect. They also treat them like athletes, in need of motivation and guidance to reach their academic goals. The coach meets one to one, follows up with the student and provides a continuity from peer-support to professional academic level peer-like support.
