Unlike traditional mentorships, where guidance flows from an experienced individual to one less experienced, this model of coaching emphasizes mutual learning and growth between equals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To leverage the power of this new model to support student engagement and success, the University of Washington Bothell launched its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/orientation\/first-year-coaching-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peer Coaching Program<\/a> in 2020 under the guidance of Terry Hill, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/orientation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orientation &amp; Transition Programs<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe coaches help students achieve strong academic results and offer unique involvement opportunities,\u201d said Emily Leonard, transition program manager and head of the Peer Coach Program. \u201cWe know finding communities can be difficult, so coaches also host social events and connect students with club activities on campus.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An opportunity that keeps giving<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First-year students in the program each get a coach \u2014 a student leader \u2014 who meets with them during summer orientation and then continues to support them throughout autumn quarter. They hold one-to-one sessions at least once a month to build relationships, facilitate personal goal setting and help the first-year students find needed resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Bastien-Orbigo.jpg\" alt=\"A person.\" class=\"wp-image-30507\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Bastien-Orbigo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Bastien-Orbigo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Bastien-Orbigo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Bastien-Orbigo-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bastien Orbigo, peer coach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to becoming coaches, the student leaders undergo comprehensive training during spring and summer quarters, covering topics such as leadership development; public speaking and communication; and diversity, equity and inclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe skills students gain will not only benefit them as coaches,\u201d Leonard noted, \u201cbut will also help them stand out in the job market once they graduate.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Bastien Orbigo, a senior majoring in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering, didn\u2019t have to wait for graduation to see the benefits. He is now well versed in the GROW model he has been trained to integrate into his coaching meetings: goal, reality, options and way forward. This framework helps coaches formulate the right questions, set goals and develop action plans with their students \u2014 and has proven just as helpful for Orbigo\u2019s academic and professional success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Help for others that circles back<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Orbigo began an internship as a software development intern at T-Mobile last summer, the GROW model was part of the training. His familiarity with GROW set him apart from the other interns and gave him a head start on his work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was quickly able to plan out his entire 12 weeks of the internship, including different milestones to not only keep him on track but also to put him ahead of deadlines. \u201cThe plan helped me to stay centered and to welcome the benefit of making mistakes, rather than fearing them,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had seen the model work well with my students,\u201d Orbigo noted, \u201cbut it was really cool to have a chance to use it for myself. As a CSSE major, I would not have expected that peer coach training would apply to my career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking as a peer coach is just as beneficial for your own development as it is for the first-year students.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>Working as a peer coach is just as beneficial for your own development as it is for the first-year students. <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\" style=\"transform:rotate(180deg);transform-origin:center\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<cite>Bastien Orbigo, senior, Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Students who become coaches<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riley Esteban agrees.

This trust-based relationship creates a safe space for open dialogue, vulnerability and personal growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was able to open up with my coach in ways I wouldn\u2019t have been comfortable if I was talking to a faculty or staff member,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew my coach had faced similar challenges and experiences, having been where I was only a year earlier.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things Esteban shared with her coach was her struggle to make new friends. \u201cI was very quiet and introverted, and it was hard for me to put myself out there,\u201d she said. \u201cMy coach encouraged me to join a club, and so I got involved with Womxn in STEM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJoining the club had a huge impact on my college experience. It introduced me to a community of people who shared a similar passion and interest.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skill sets that drive success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Uplifted by her peers in the club, Esteban gained a new confidence and, the following year, decided to become a peer coach. \u201cI went into it with the purpose of setting up first-year students for success but was surprised at just how much the training set me up for success, too,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She noted that her public speaking skills have improved dramatically since starting the program. \u201cAs a coach, I had to present at orientation to a group of nearly 100 students, which was quite a lot,\u201d she said. \u201cI also hosted a number of group sessions with my students. I had to get comfortable speaking in larger crowds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis skill will be extremely helpful outside of the coaching program. Since I am going into a scientific field, I will need to be able to present my findings to an audience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Numbers that prove impact<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from\u202fa survey sent to all first-year students at the end of autumn quarter 2023 show that the program has made a significant impact on these students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Emily-Leonard.jpg\" alt=\"A person.\" class=\"wp-image-30512\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Emily-Leonard.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Emily-Leonard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Emily-Leonard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Emily-Leonard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Emily Leonard, transition program manager, Orientation &amp; Transition Programs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNinety-three percent of students are utilizing their peer coach which shows us that there is definitely a need and demand,\u201d Leonard said. \u201cWe have the data to support that students\u2019 grade point averages go up after meeting with their peer coaches \u2014 which helps to increase retention.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the questions on the survey also asked where the first-year students found community or belonging in their first quarter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOverwhelmingly the majority of them said their peer coach, similar to Riley\u2019s experience,\u201d Leonard said. \u201cWe also asked, \u2018Did your peer coach help you feel more prepared for the next quarter?\u2019 and more than 90% this year said they were more prepared and more confident.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pride in the program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Success statistics about peer coaches are impressive, too, Leonard added, noting that half of UW Bothell\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/husky100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Husky 100 students<\/a> in 2023 were peer coaches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor those who may not know, the Husky 100 recognizes 100 students across the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses who are making the most of their time at the University.
