What is Peer Academic Coaching?
Peer Academic Coaches provide one-on-one support for students as they develop strategies for academic success. The PAC team also provides referral support to help direct students to a variety of services and resources both within the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and across campus.
Who are we?
