Swimmer in a poolThe 2024 Summer Olympic Games are around the corner, where amazing athletes from around the world will gather in Paris to show us the results of years of hard work and training. And as we watch in awe and marvel at their incredible feats, it is easy to overlook a key contributor to their success. Ever-present but often in the background, coaches are an immensely important part of honing an athlete's potential and skill to take them to even greater heights.

Coaching graphicMuch like Olympic athletes, students are also filled incredible potential and skill, and while they may succeed on their own, they will find even more success by working with a coach. Enter the Academic Success Center at National University! In addition to a large collection of self-directed resources to help students in areas such as writing, math, and more, academic coaches are also available by chat, email, and individual/group coaching sessions to support students along their academic journey.

Don't just take our word for it though! Here's what one student had to say about their experience working with a coach from the Academic Success Center.

I am deeply grateful for the time and effort Coach Pallavi Mittra has invested in me, offering constructive feedback, sharing resources, and providing guidance every step of the way.

Class-based students and faculty, please be aware that a small change has been made to the Library link in NU Brightspace. Previously, it would link to a custom library landing page, but unfortunately, this page had become outdated and difficult to maintain. Taking this, and other factors, into consideration, we decided to update the Library link to now point to the library homepage. This will help to reduce confusion and also ensure that users have the latest resources.
