That’s right. Part of the SPU Living Experience program in the residence halls, Peer Academic Coaches (PACs) are trained and ready to help you succeed. And just think--you don’t have to change out of your pajamas to find them!
Located in the First Year (Arnett and Ashton) or Second Year (Emerson or Hill) residence halls, the PACs are coordinating weekly study halls, offering academic coaching on topics like time management and study strategies, and creating programs around topics you want to learn more about. Look for news about the residential PAC program at the front desk of your hall.
