Academic Improvement and Resilience (AIR)
The AIR program is designed to provide additional support to students on academic probation. We partner with students to create a plan for resiliency, belonging and academic improvement.
The AIR program is led by a team of academic coaches who support students in small groups, seminar sessions and individual appointments. Coaches will connect with students through a variety of ongoing touchpoints during the semester depending on the student's needs and probation status.
