The Lobo Reading Experience was created as a common academic reading program at the University of New Mexico (UNM). The program has been created for all students to offer a common reading experience that fosters a sense of community while promoting reading as an entire campus and a city wide effort that promotes literacy. Peer & Volunteer Success Coaching

Success Coaching is a dynamic program that fosters a highly personalized relationship between the student and coach. The Success Coaching relationship provides a safe space for the student to clarify academic, personal and professional goals so they are able to make the most out of their college experience. Success Coaches support students to strategize, problem solve and develop their own path to success while providing them with an objective third-party perspective and first-hand knowledge of campus resources.
