Strong Start

Get started on the right foot

Credit: The Ohio State University Archives

The DLC Strong Start is a 3-session group coaching certificate program that will sharpen your academic skills so you have the best start possible at Columbus campus.

Each week, you will meet with a small group of undergraduate students from a variety of majors, led by undergraduate Academic Coaches from the DLC. You can use this as an opportunity to make new friends in a relaxed atmosphere while also developing your academic skills.

Your coaches will share useful strategies to help you sharpen your skills and you can help each other stay motivated and on track. Topics include: how to stay motivated, procrastination and productivity, next-level study strategies, and connecting with professors and peers.

After completing this program, you will have established productive habits and have renewed confidence in your ability to get things done. You will also have a group of campus change students just like you to connect with as you start your semester at Columbus campus.

Program Details

  • 3-session certificate program with weekly 1-hour meetings
  • Meet on campus with DLC Academic Coach and a small group of students (snacks provided)
