Student Enrichment CenterThrive Coaches
At Jacksonville University, each student’s Thrive Coach serves as their Academic Advisor—a dedicated professional who provides holistic, individualized guidance throughout their time at JU. Thrive Coaches are helpers, connectors, and cheerleaders who foster a sense of belonging while empowering students to take increasing ownership of their academic journey and personal development.
Each student’s Thrive Coach is part of a broader Success Team, which also includes their Faculty Advisor, Financial Aid Counselor, and more. Together, this team ensures that students receive consistent, proactive support across all areas of their college experience—academic planning, social engagement, physical and mental wellness, and more.
Student Enrichment CenterEarly and often
The first six weeks on campus are critical in determining whether a student will thrive at JU. To impact their experience upon arrival, we must begin coaching them months before they start classes. Our Thrive Coaches begin engaging newly accepted students as they prepare to enroll in their first classes at JU. They check in, remind students about important dates and deadlines, and help answer questions. They work closely with our New Student Experience team to ensure students are enrolled in orientation and ready to hit the ground running their first semester. By the time students arrive in the fall, they have an established success network they can rely on for guidance.
