Thrive as a

KOHAWK Academic assistance. Health and wellness. Campus and community involvement. Professional preparation. Coe is your connection.

At Coe, start college with someone by your side. Before you even move in for your first term, you will connect with your very own Success Coach to ensure you're prepared for the beginning of your experience as a Kohawk. They can relate to the challenges and freedoms of moving from high school to college and help you anticipate the different needs and opportunities that come with the move. This person will be your confidant and source of inspiration and knowledge! Your success coach will: • Introduce you to resources on campus and in the Cedar Rapids community that will be invaluable during your time at Coe. • Connect with you to ensure you're aware of important milestones throughout your first year. • Act as the bridge to you and the many people, tools and resources needed to be successful. • Always be ready to answer any questions or provide guidance regarding any Coe-related topic (seriously, no question is too big or too small for our team)!

As a new student, you will not be expected to know everything about Coe or the college transition. The Office of Student Success and Persistence is here to help you adjust to life as a Kohawk.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill academic support center with a few tutors — it’s an expansive, all-you-could-ask-for version.
